Hi,
I am a newcomer that came to Calgary in September 2023. I fill my taxes and get paid, but I received that message some days ago, and I don't know what that exactly means and how to proceed to update that information:

"The CRA cannot calculate the amount you may be entitled to receive for all periods because the necessary information has not been received. If you provide the information requested in the Explanation section, it will be processed and you will be notified if you are entitled. For definitions please see the back of the notice."

And the explanation is that:

"The CRA cannot calculate the amount of the GST/HSTC you may be entitled to receive for July 2024 to April 2025 without the following information: - your world income, converted to Canadian dollars, for the period in 2023 before you came to Canada"

I will appreciate if someone could help me with that.

Thanks in advance

For CRA to determine if you are eligible for GST/HST credit, they need your income for entire year (2023), and since you shifted to Canada in Sep 2023, they are requesting you to update your worldwide income for Jan 2023 to date when you entered Canada to determine if you are eligible for this credit.
