Dear Juan

Dear Juan: Can I claim for the expenses I pay for them and also get the caregiver tax credit?, according to The Chronicle Herald. Dear Juan: I am sorry to report that your parents must either live in the country or live with you in order for you to receive any of the caregiver tax credits. In light of how many immigrants are in Canada, changing this to allow the credits for those with parents out of the country would be the right thing to do and Q: My parents are 79 and 77 years old, cant walk and are confined to bed. They have been like this since 2005 and 2009 respectively. They live in Peru because in that condition I could not bring them to live in Nova Scotia. I currently pay for two full-time nurses $1,500 a month to take care of all their needs. My fathers pension is just $775 a month and is not enough. If I do not pay for nurses, I would have to move back to Peru and not be able to work in Canada. Juan (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
