    Past Service Contributions and my T4 Slip!!???

    I think that all it means is that it comes off your past RRSP eligibility amount.  Eligible RRSP amounts are based on total income, then if you contribute to a registered pension, you get less RRSP room.  You're buying back pensionable time from the past, so they are going to adjust your past...

    Female Mess Dress Shirt

    Hey scoutfinch - if you find a tailor in the NCR that can do it, let me know!  That's where I am too.  Maybe we can get a discount!! Yrys - I was on a course a couple of years ago with a British army logistics officer and her mess uniform had a "ball gown" kind of look to it.  The skirt part...

    Female Mess Dress Shirt

    Anyone out there ever find a source for a good quality Mess Dress Shirt (female)?   I have had 5 or 6 during my career and they never fit right, they're thin, cheap polyester, the buttons turn colours, the collar doesn't sit right, and so on... >:(  It annoys me to no end to pay nearly a grand...

    The General Hillier Years. The Merged Superthread

    I think we need to remember that Gen Hillier is a person with a life, just like us.  Word around here (Ottawa) is that his three years as CDS have taken a real toll on him - it's a stressfull job, I would imagine.  His family and his health need him to step back, likely, and take care of what's...

    The General Hillier Years. The Merged Superthread

    The urban legend I heard was that the "candidates" for the position were invited to present their "what I'll do if you make me the CDS" speech.  The others came in with fancy PowerPoints and such, and Gen Hillier came in, much like the quote above and basically talked from his FMP. Probably...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Your personal exemption is the part of your income you don't pay tax on.  It's around $9,000 right now.  If you're using tax software, it should put it in for you, if you're using printed forms from CRA, I believe it's written right on the form. To use nice round numbers: If you make $30,000...

    The General Hillier Years. The Merged Superthread

    I don't know how to put a finger on it.  But when he says that he's proud of us, that he gets his inspiration from us, that spending a day with the troops revitalizes him, and when he thanks us for our service...I get that he really means it.  From his heart.  I have rarely had a supervisor (at...

    Regarding raising or lowering the amount your employer takes off there's a form you can fill out to amend the amount your employer is required to take.  It's called a TD1 http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/td1/td1-08e.pdf For raising the amount - You can ask them to take more tax, just by giving...

    On menstruating, sharks, and parts --- a thread I recommend only for girls!!

    OK since there is already a warning on this thread for the boys... When I did my medical for my CT, I was experiencing intermittent spotting because of my IUD.  I had the urine test twice (once at the CFRC and once at the base hospital) and both times there was blood in my urine.  The medic at...

    Actually, the rates for the real estate agent vary by province.  The info you get from IRP will have the rates for your province.

    IRP Policy Personalized Component

    Keep in mind that a lot of the rules about what IRP can pay for come from Canada Revenue Agency (aka the tax man).  In a nutshell - if the costs are not directly attributable to the move, it's a taxable benefit.  Don't blame IRP for CRA's rules. To use your example, CMHC fees are a cost...

    Moving - Worth it to tow trailer?

    Some of the decision depends on what you want to use your Custom package for and how big your custom package is.  The 50% km rate or the cost of shipping the trailer - either will come out of that package. Scenario 1 - you ship the trailer, the bill is paid by IRP, the trailer arrives at your...
