If aUS citizen the baby will be taxed on its world wide income no matter where the residence because taxation in the US is based on citizenship. In Canada the baby would be taxed based on where it lived because taxation in Canada is based on Residency. So in the US the baby would be taxed indiscriminately but in Canadathe baby would be taxed mercilessly. See that wasn't hard. Anon.<< Umm ... much more to it than that. Your friend needs an immig. lawyer just to know how to cut the tape and get the right papers filed ... surprised this didn't come up at the border. have your friend call the local bar association (not the paid referral services) and ask for an immig. referral -- then she should talk to a few of them. the ideal candidate willl have dealt with Canadian institutions previously. Charlie. Yes I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Rather, it is general information related to general circumstances. It should not be used as a substitute for legal advice. For advice concerning any particular factual situation or circumstance, you should consult an attorney in your area. |
