Hi guys I have a question. I got got my pr approval in April. Now planning to move in August. My company here in Dubai doesn't want to let me go so they've agreed that I can work remotely and travel to Dubai every three months for a couple of weeks then go back. Now my question is regarding the tax return. I know I don't have to file it till next year. But I'm a little confused . My salary will be transferrd in UAE then I'll transfer it from my UAE account to my Canadian one.What will be my obligiations in terms of tax in Canada? Any help would be appreciated.

Next year, you will file your tax return declaring your 2014 income earned after you moved to Canada. CRA will then send you a letter telling you how much income tax you owe. You then pay that amount in one lump sum.
Although my knowledge in the matter is limited, I would recommend you incorporate and register your own company in Canada and then work for your Dubai employer as a self-employed contractor (providing the services remotely). As a self-employed person with a world income, I believe you will have a number of deductibles and a better chance at a lower tax bill. In any case, you can seek help from local tax professionals when you land in Canada.
It is confusing and overwhelming, so don't be worried about that.

Hi. My Canadian study visa had been approved and I am working for a Dubai-based company. Is it legal to be on a Canadian student visa and work remotely for another company in Dubai?
A person in Canada doesn't even need a work permit to work remotely, so long as they are not remunerated from within Canada, or work for a company with Canadian ties. The work needs to be 100 % remote (via internet, phone, etc.).
