In Canada, can an employer order you back to work before your maternity leave is up?
Q. I just read a question from a woman who says her employer has told her she either has to come back now (she is only 7 months in), or risk being laid off for a year. Is this allowed? I've tried the Government of Canada website, but all I can find is benefit payments you're entitled to.

A. They can't do that. Hopefully they weren't stupid enough to put that into writing. I suggest your friend contact the ministry of Labour, they will be able to further outline her rights.

How come Canada and the United States are the only two developed countries in the Americas?
Q. There are 35 total countries in North, Central (including the Caribbean) and South America combined. But only two (Canada and the U.S) are fully developed countries which are considered world leaders. How come all the other 33 countries in the Americas are doing so poorly compared to Canada and the United States?

What are the requirements for emigrating to Canada from the UK as a social worker?
Q. I am in my final year of study of a postgraduate social work degree, and wish to emigrate to Canada when I qualify. Does anyone know how much work experience would be needed, and whether British social work qualifications are accepted in Canada? Has anyone did this before, and you did you find it? Is it tough to find a job in Canada? Thanks!
Asked by Johnny Planet - Tue Jun 15 18:56:05 2010 - Immigration - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Here's the assessment process, below. You need at least one year, preferably two of experience before you can apply and the application takes about two years to complete if you are accepted. There aren't a lot of job vacancies at the moment but things might improve in four years.

Main house in Canada, is the mortgage interest deductible?
Q. I work in US, but my family is in Canada, and we bought house in Canada (no house in US). Wonder whether the mortgage interest paid in 2008 is tax deductible. Thanks. Sorry, I forgot to mention the question is about the deduction in US income tax return.
Asked by Yingping L - Mon Mar 16 22:42:47 2009 - United States - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Yes it is. However, you should talk to a professional as there could be a requirement for you to withhold 30% of the payment and then the bank would have to claim this back from the government. As no bank would want to do this, they would just increase your payment by enough to cover the withholding, which you would not want. So, talk to an expert first.

A. You are correct in stating that while Canada has the second largest country (by total area), we have a relatively small population. But have you seen where we are located? Most of our cities are situated within 200 km of our southern border with USA. Only one large city is located significantly north of the 45th parallel, and that's Edmonton (53rd parallel north). Why would that be? Because while there are plenty of natural resources (oil, diamonds, gold, softwood lumber, fresh water, etc) to sustain a business, it is really not a climate enticing for someone wanting to live in Canada's north year round. You don't really have a growing season for vegetables, and cattle farming in this area is very difficult with so little food available… [cont.]

Is Canada the answer to the American open/illegal immigration problem?
Q. The Canadian economy seems to be doing well and, from everything I've heard, needs more workers. Canada has great benefits and, from what I've seen, Canadians preach acceptance of "multi-culturalism." Would Canada/Canadians openly accept the large number of illegal immigrants crossing the Mexican border into the US seeking better economic prospects that seemingly the majority of Americans oppose their presence? Would those coming from "South of the border" into the US find Canada a suitable home? Should some sort of pipeline (ie a train or bus system) be built through various points of the US's Southern border into points of Canada to get people there to work? Would this be acceptable to all, to none, to some or is this… [cont.]

Canada believes that water will become the most essential environmental source in the next century. The United States on the other hand, has always been refusing this ban that may harm other nations who lack such a vital source. Canada, as it holds a fifth of the world s fresh water supply, fears to face a huge environmental problem if it carries on shipping a huge quantities of water to external nations.

How do you obtain Sodium metal in Canada or transport it across the border?
Q. I cannot find anywhere in Canada to buy pure Sodium metal. Most places on the internet list it as a restricted material. I found Sodium being sold on e Bay but only in the United States. They will not ship it internationally as the Postal Service does not allow it to be sent out of the country. I can have it shipped to a friend in the United States and have them bring it back to Canada the next time they travel. Will the airlines allow Sodium to be carried on a flight or to be put in checked baggage? If not, can it just be driven across the border? Another suitable solution for me would be to find someone selling it in Canada for a reasonable price. Does anyone know if there is somewhere an ordinary person can buy Sodium in Canada? Thanks.… [cont.]

A. Although sodium metal is a restricted material, it CAN still be shipped to/within Canada if declared as a hazardous material and transported by special courrier. As a material that's regulated by Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, it is usually not a good idea to bring the item across the US border undeclared. Also, it can NOT be transported by air, ground only. If you can provide proof/ background of the kind of research you are doing with the sodium and you need a reasonable amount of metal, I may be able to help.

How is the number of days a Canada PR lives in Canada counted?
Q. A Canada PR (permanent resident) is required to accumulate at least 2 years (out of every 5 years) of living in Canada in order to maintain the PR status. However I am wondering how they actually count the number of days a PR lived in Canada. When a person drives from the United States to Canada, neither US border officers nor Canada border officers record anything. When a person drives from Canada to the US, nothing is recorded either. If the person keeps traveling between the US and Canada without going to a 3rd country (so nothing is stamped on the passport), how does Canada immigration officers know how many days the person actually lives in Canada?

Canada and the US share this information, so the US knows when you return to Canada, and Canada knows when you leave. In the past, there might have been opportunity to leave or enter without a permanent record, but today, each passage is recorded.

A. The geography is very similar. The Rockies are in the same place, the most fertile land is in the same place, between the Rockies and the Great Lakes. The only major difference is the Canadian Shield, which limits agriculture in the East, but it makes up for it with easy access to minerals. I stand by my first answer. Climate limits development to the north so it has to spread east-west.

How does Canada manage to maintain such a low murder rate compared to America?
Q. It's really amazing - Canada's national murder rate is THREE times lower than the rate in the US. How do they pull this off? Are Canadian cops simply three times more competent than the cops in America, or what? What can we learn from Canada when it comes to bringing down the murder rate? Why is America failing in this regard compared to Canada? Who is to blame, and how can we correct this crisis?

A. for starters fix your prison system its the largest in the world and easily one of the most ineffective too many people in prison for minor drug offences first off second people go in for minor crimes, learn the tools of the trade from inmates, join gangs and then bring that to the outside world where they become better criminals and work in the same gangs they were a part of in prison we also didnt have a huge slave population that suddenly were free and then not given any support and generations later they are still at a disadvantage and turn to crime to make up for that discrepancy

Petitioning a Caregiver in Canada before returning for residency?
Q. I am Canadian and planning to return back home to Canada in 2 to 3 years. In my absence, can I apply to petition a caregiver while I am a non resident pending my return to Canada?

A. NO the caregiver MUST be living in Canada WITH the family - the family MUST be in Canada when they apply. The caregiver will live in and work for you for 2 years. Once that 2 years is complete they can apply for PR status and get their caregiver work permit changed to an open permit, so they can work for whomever they choose.
