I am being offered to be paid 17$ per patient as a contractor at my optician. I am obviously not a doctor. I average out seeing 10 patients a day for the days I am scheduled. This is a pt role.

Minimum wage will be 17.95 soon here in Ontario.

I have no other income.

My concern is that if I am designated as a contractor then I am needing to pay more in CPP. Is this correct?

I imagine I will be under the basic amounts for tax purposes, but does that not matter if I am a contractor? Do I do anything different in taxes vs if i was an employee?

Do ESA rights matter to me since I am a contractor? I.e Breaks or "OT" or minimum wage?

What else do I lose by doing this? I also feel the rate is too low but that is another topic for another day.

[ontario] Previously Quarter remitter recently switched to monthly (as of start of the quarter). Need to send remittance by 15th or 17th since that is a monday however the earliest I can is 19th via PAD.

Decided to instead try via my personal account and then reimburse myself from the business but when I tried to cancel the PAD I can't as it is "less than" 5 business days........

Anyway, is it worth the chase to call CRA and plead or is this fine? 1 person payroll corporation.

Hi Friends coming to visit your beautiful city tomorrow. Staying at a friend house but he does not have adequate parking. We did not realize it takes about a week to get parking permit to be able to park in the "no parking except by permit". Thought it was similar to overnight parking permit you can request yourself online for free but 311 says it is not.

His area is near the falls as well so it complicates matters because I see a lot of no parking tow away zones.

As we are steps from main attractions in niagara I see a lot of private lots which ppl standing outside collecting cash for parking. Most from what he told me (drove around) are day lots so cars need to clear by end of night.

Are there any areas in which overnight parking is allowed (fine to pay a reasonable $). Worst case I will park near the casinos and best case he is successful in bribing one of his neighbors with beer and pizza to let me park there.

I am sorry if this is not allowed here

Just completed 1st Year Corporate T2

Year End: Dec 31st.

In my first year I pre-paid my corporate taxes I think in March. I completed my T2 and already (May 1st) got refund a few months ago (Due Date however is June 15th I think - if relevant).

Now I understand that since I made over 3k in corp taxes in 2025, I now need to remit quarterly for the government.

Since it is June 1... I feel like I may have messed up for 2026 already. When would payment of corporate tax quarterly begin? Where can I confirm the $?

Edit: I have NOT YET receieved a notice to be quarterly btw. Not sure if delayed or looking at the wrong place in mybusiness cra

I need to send a parcel abroad (not documents). This is abroad to a EU nation.

I would like to pay for the duties myself as I do not went the receiver to as it is a gift (non food/electric related)

Can I do this via Canada Post?

Previous owner in current home had done a quick (and kind of shoddy...) driveway excavate and pave. Spoke to my new neighbour and he mentioned he had a few contentious discussions with old owner regarding this as our driveways are shared.

I do see online that this outside shut off valve should be accessible to the city if/when it is required or needed. I also agree with the neighbour that we might as well try to see how I can get it back installed. He had a flood about 15 years ago so has always been fairly cautious.

Anyone recently face this situation? Who do I call? 311? Region of Peel? Will they even know where it is? I understand they may break driveway to find the valve but it's a battle I am willing to lose as the asphalt is already crumbling

Is this something I have to pay to have it re-installed? Not sure how it is dealt with
