rc66sch & Year of becoming resident of Canada

Hello,

Since we are returning residents, we have to fill forms rc66, rc66sch & TB9, my question is related to rc66sch and will appreciate if anyone have experience with this:

- In part E (Statement of Income), the form asks for the " Year you became resident of Canada" in order to declare income for that year and the two years that preceded. We landed in mid 2016 and came back by 2018, shall we declare the income for 2018, 2017 & 2016 or shall we declare our income for the years 2016, 2015 & 2014, this is really confusing, I read older posts hinting that the applicant should consider the year when she/he landed but I don't feel it makes sense because why would the CRA be interested in our income in our income in 2015 & 2014 when we are applying in 2018?

If you did "short landing" in 2016 and then returned to your country of residence then you are not "Returning Resident" for CRA.

I think that you have a point, because it is true that we landed in 2016 but we didn't become residents (for tax purposes) until 2018, this would mean that we have to fill part B as "New residents" and not as "Returning residents" since we have never been residents in Canada for tax purposes before. Thank you.

Will anyone having experience advise on the appropriateness of the conclusion I made above, and on the years that I should declare, as based on the above I would consider that I am a new resident and will only fill the data with my reference being my entry to Canada in 2018? So far I am more inclined to go down that route when filling the application.

Any seniors who can help with this?
Did you manage to find an answer to this ?. I will have the same situation in July. I landed in July 2015 and left after 10 days and am returning in July 2018 to stay

Why not pick up your phone and call CRA? If outside the country, they have a toll free number.

I am outside the country and with a huge time difference. Toll free numbers are only "free" inside Canada, average call time is more than 20 min. of international calling and with time difference is really not feasible

Call CRA when you come back in Canada, call at 8AM EST so it's not busy.

No, CRA accept collect calls by automated response. You probably don't know how to make collect calls. Ask your service provider or operator to initiate the collect call and you pay nothing.

Dear members,

Need your expert guidance on applying for CCB

We are PR. (Me, Wife, two Children)
Facts:
1. I landed for a week in Nov 2017 for first time (short landing) and went back to India
2. We all four came here in April 2018 (me, wife and two children)
3. I am applying for CCB through two forms: RC66 and RC66SCH with my wife as the applicant.


My queries:

1. In Part B of RC66SCH 'Residency Status' which date should I fill: Nov 2017 or Apr 2018

2. In Part E of RC66SCH 'Statement of Income'
Step - 1 'Year you became Resident of Canada' (2018) Income from India must be reported or just Canadian income?
Step - 2 One Year before you became Resident of Canada (2017) Income from India must be reported ?
Step - 3 Two Year before you became Resident of Canada (2016) Income from India must be reported ?

3. Are these two forms sufficient or do I need to fill in CTB9 as well

1. Apr 2018.

2. ALL INCOME. If you leave out your foreign income, you will be committing fraud.

3. Don't know.

hi quick question. for point 2 above this is not related to the income tax details submitted to CRA right? My wife was not working in Canada in 2018 but was working in india and got income in India and paid taxes in India. Do i need to show that as foreign income even though taxes have been paid on it?

Ok. So, 1 thing is clear that your home country's income is to be declared even though you have already paid taxes due. Can anyone let me know, what income is to be declared, the take home or just the basic salary devoid of any allowances? Anyone who has filled this form and received CCB?
