Good day everyone, I have been reading through the trend and i must say it is very informative. God bless you all for keeping it active. We landed a few months back and i am really confused at the type of school to choose for my kid that will be starting kindergarten by September. There are public schools, Catholic schools, french immersion and the Traditional learning Centres(TLC). Please i will appreciate it if anyone can tell me the advantages of these Schools, I am really finding it difficult to decide. Thanks in advance. Please dont read and pass, help if you can |

Good day everyone! Please I need some advice. My family and I soft landed September last year in Ontario and opened bank accounts. Didn't apply for health insurance or child benefits or anything. Please I have read and heard conflicting opinions on the need to file tax. Please I need guidance on this. Note that we're returning this year. Thank you very much! |

epdcan: No need to file taxes except you want to file zero taxes. You are not resident for tax purposes. When you land finally, then you can file taxes. |

If it wouldn’t be a bother, kindly help send the link again. Hope to hear from you! |

epdcan: If you do not intend to claim any benefits or tax refunds and you're not owing any tax, you do not need to file taxes except CRA asks you to do so. That's why as a PR, when applying for citizenship, it does not ask if you have filed taxes for 3 years in the past 5 years. It asks if you have been required to file taxes. That being said, it does not cost you anything to file tax returns. So I would rather file taxes and get any gains than wait for CRA to ask me to file it, that's just my own opinion on the matter. About being a resident for tax purposes. You have a Canadian bank account so you have established economic ties with Canada and MAY be considered a resident for tax purposes.

Jennypharb1: Hello Jennypharb1, I’m a Nigerian trained lawyer who hasn’t been in active practice although I plan to practice in Canada by the grace of God. I would really appreciate it if you can put me through the process of joining the Canadian Bar Association. My immigration application is ongoing and I hope to be in Manitoba before the end of this year. If it’s possible, kindly provide a means to reach you directly. If not, please help me drop the necessary info on here. Or reach me via email on: enajegbeeghe@yahoo.com Thank you. |

epdcan:When you soft landed, I believe you became PRs on that day. If I were you, I would file my tax aslong as I arrived in the country before the deadline. Alot of access to government or NGO may ask for your most recent tax return document (notice of assessment) when you apply for services. In addition, if you opened a savings account when you landed and earned any interest on your deposit, the interest would be considered income by CRA; hence, the need to file. Your bank would have sent to you and the CRA, a copy of your T5 (statement of investment income). 8 Likes 5 Shares |

epdcan: We are in the same boat. We did soft landing last year October. I made efforts to file the taxes from here using a a consultant, but he said the tax filing can be done once we return. Hoping the borders will open soon. |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Winterpeg: 12:09am On May 20, 2020 |
epdcan: You don't need to file taxes since you didn't earn any income in Canada and you only did soft landing. I had the same issue too in my family and filed taxes and as a result CRA gave us a bill. It was during the cause of settling the issue that the CRA informed us that we were not supposed to file taxes since we were deemed non resident for tax purposes. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Please advise. Do I pay tax on income generated from remote job if the company is based in Nigeria and I reside in Canada? If the company deducts tax before payment in Nigeria, am I supposed to pay another tax on the same income as a resident in Canada? Thank you. |

epdcan: While the Administrative practice if the CRA is case by case, the General rule is that Canadian Residents must file world income. Having a bank account in Canada is an evidence of secondary ties see Income Tax Folio S5-F1-C1. Another contentious issue is that you declared an address on your bank account which CRA may regard as a place of dwelling. Having arrived in September, at best, you may be classified as a part-year resident. As a part year resident, it has to be established whether you have a Fresh Start or Clean Break. See ITA 250(1)(a) and Income Tax Folio S5-F1-C1. There is clear evidence that you indeed have a fresh start. However you left Canada �� without closing your account so it cannot be deemed a clean break. In conclusion, I’d advise you to file even if it is zero as this is allowed by the Income Tax Act, in the future, you can file an amended return. When you return you will file form RC66 also. 2 Likes |

epdcan: I soft landed last November too. I will advise you to file your tax. I was able to file as a non-resident PR via Turbotax and faxed the T1 document which I received from TurboTax after completing the process to CRA fax number for non Resident PR. However, you will be required to use a Canadian address to complete the filing process. I reported my 2019 income from Nigerian under global income, it is not taxable in Canada as T1 recorded my total taxable income as 0.00 A month after faxing the T1, I got an email that my CRA account has been created with the Notice of Assessment also uploaded unto the CRA profile however I have not been able to access my CRA account. I need to call CRA customer service to grant me access/send me login security code as non resident but they seem to be very busy with CERB, EI etc 6 Likes 6 Shares |

Adunnee: Nigeria has a Double Tax Treaty/Agreement with Canada, depending on the amount of tax already deducted, you may or may not be subjected to another tax. You can check out Nigeria's DTA with Canada 6 Likes 3 Shares |
