We've moved into a house today - the agent has forwarded a screenshot of our names/passport number entered onto an online form that appears to be a TM30, but she is asking us to go to immigration with passports etc - can anyone confirm that we have to do this? My understanding was that the owner of the property reports to immigration but the tenant doesn't have to do it as well as it's just doubling up. If it matters, visa type is non-o (retirement).

I've got conflicting info, so would really appreciate anyone putting us straight on this.

(I know that the owner is supposed to notify our return if we are out of the province for more than 48 hours, but I don't think this has been done for us so far in the years we have been here in condo's. We don't do 90 day reports as we are never in the country for that long and just fill out the arrival card with our address when we fly in.)

I see no reason for you to anything at immigration since you apparently will not have any contact with immigration for anything,

Perhaps they think you have an extension from immigration which would require a change of address to be submitted,

Sure it's not an extension based on retirement obtained from Immigration.

 

If so, you should be filing a TM28 Change of Address form within 24 hours of arrival.
