What are residential ties?
Residential ties include things such as:
* a home in Canada;
* a spouse or common-law partner and dependants who stay in Canada while you are in the U.S.;
* personal property, such as a car or furniture in Canada; and
* social ties in Canada.
Other relevant ties may include a Canadian driver's licence, Canadian bank accounts or credit cards, and hospitalization insurance with a province or territory of Canada.
