請問已和加拿大公民結婚可否申請護照而不需居留呢?

since you are not born in Canada, all immigrant have to live in Canada for 3 years and then apply the citizenship. sorry no short cut.!

anyone can buy real estate in Canada, regret he is tourist, immigrant or citizen... your Hb had been fooled by his family. he should talked with real estate lawyer for this matter before he brough the property....... since now the house title is under his brother's name.....
that's it! it is his house, and grovernment does not care who paid for it at the beginning. even you provide the paid check, bank statement.....etc, but he still can say it is your gift to him...... any law sue is useless.

now only his brother willing to return the house to your HB, ( in this way, your Hb have to pay tax for the house transition, the capital grain tax when one day he want to sell the house. ), that is why i say he made a mistake at first place..... too bad, too late now.

1. 我丈夫是加拿大公民(Montreal), 已回港公作18年。6年前我們在當地注冊結婚, 我想申請加拿大公民護照, 因為我是家中獨女, 實在不可拋下父母到當地住幾年。但為工作需要有加拿大護照實在是方便些出國。請問這樣可以嗎? 手續如何?

Lol, you wish......

If you want the passport, by law, you need to live in Canada for 3 years (1095 days) in Canada, and a Whole 365 days period IN CANADA immediately BEFORE your Citizenship application.

However, in your case, you May be able to claim Canadian Ties if your husband are living with you oversea and have a reason to. (not sure if yours are enough) But you still have to live in Canada for at least 365 days continiously if you want to claim Canadian Citizenship.


2. 我丈夫是加拿大公民(Montreal), 在當地可以買屋嗎? 每年要交幾錢稅款( 屋約值30萬加紙) ?


You can, actually buying dwelling in Canada have nothing to do with Canadian Citizenship or not.

How much tax he need to pay depends on how much he earn and how much tax refund he entitle, as you did not stated his job and what is his status (family living in canada and etc) I cannot tell you how much tax he have to pay.

Not quite sure about your situation, I only become Canadian PR in 2007, anywhere before that i don't really know..sorry...

What i know is, for a non-resident to purchase a home in Canada, they need to pay more stamp duty and you may need to pay investment tax as well
