Changing visa from H-1(working holiday) to student or working visa

Expert Info

Submitted by imanict123 on
Destination: South Korea

Hello,

I am going to South Korea on an H-1 visa for 18 months in September. In the event that I decide that I want to study at a Korean University, or that I'm offered a job opportunity within this period of time, is it possible to change my H-1 visa to a student or working visa? Even if I have to come back to America for a visa run, that's fine; I just want to know if it's possible to get a switch. While I'm excited to go to Korea on a Working Holiday, 18 months is a long time, so I want to be open to other opportunities that may arise during my stay.

Destination: Oslo

Hey,

I'm planning to move to Oslo next year, but I'm having a little trouble estimating what I would get paid as an Art Director at an advertising agency? I'm finding it hard to look at jobs as it seems they don't really use that title there. 

Could anyone tell me a little about the creative industry in Oslo, including freelancing? Also, is there a specific recruiter to use for the creative industry? 

Hope you can help!

Tax on property income whilst in Canada

Expert Info

Submitted by stibbles on
Destination: Canada

Hi,

 

I have two investment properties in the United Kingdom and work now takes me to Canada for at least three years.  I presume I will pretty soon be classed as a Canadian resident for tax purposes.

 

Can anyone tell me how the income from these paid in rent will be treated?  What rates of tax etc?

 

Also, what if I sold the properties?  Would the equity I have in these properties be taxed as income?
