Independent guidance. A clearer path forward.Tax residence is its own question
Tax residency is not determined only by immigration status. Review CRA’s newcomer guidance, your residential ties and the date you became resident for tax purposes.
Keep records from the beginning
Keep income slips, relevant foreign income records and arrival details. Check benefit eligibility directly with CRA. Seek qualified tax advice for cross-border situations.
