if you were to take a base in YVR, I believe you are actually resigned from CX and hired by a Canadian CX branch. This means that you would be subject to all canadian income tax. So all the points listed by cpdude are taken into consideration. But why would you want to take a YVR base anyway? it sucks. don't do that. go UK or something. stay away from YVR. Plus it's hard to get anyways. yuck. Have you heard a rumour that they are closing the YVR base? yeah so I would stay away...
FG: thanks for your response again. I guess that's the same for a lot of foreign pilots tho, UK folks will eventually want to move back to UK, NA folks would want to return to NA soon...
