Hi

I am applying for citizen ship and iam trying to fill CIT0002E (Application for Candian Citizenship) form .question 12b says .Tell us when you filed your income taxes in last five years using the chart below.

the chart has 3 columns 1)Tax year 2)Required to file (yes/No) 3)Taxes filed(Yes/No)

I have immigrated to canada in 2016 febuary on PR so i filed taxes for 2016(in the year 2017) Taxes for 2017(in year 2018) and taxes for 2018 (in the year 2019 March).So i think as per rule i have cleared 3 out of 5 year taxes to be paid rule .

My question is when the question (12b) says Tell us when you filed your income taxes in last five years does it mean taxes paid prior to landing (lived in INDIA) my tax slot for 5 years falls from (2014-2018) should be included ?because i felt the question is little confusing because it just asks if the taxes were paid but doesn't indicate canada only or home country (INDIA) as well.

I filled the chart like
1)Tax year 2)Required to file (yes/No) 3)Taxes filed(Yes/No)
2018 YES YES
2017 YES YES
2016 YES YES
2015 NO NO
2014 NO NO

I mentioned 2015 and 2014 as NO because i was living in INDIA by then and filed my Taxes in INDIA .

I request the people in house to help me answering should i keep the chart as it as(like mentioned above) or should i change year 2015 and 2014 as YES because i filed taxes in INDIA.

Regards
Kiran

Yes keep the "chart" as is. The tax questionnaire is about taxes paid in Canada NOT TAXES PAID OUTSIDE CANADA. So you are good to go.

Hi,
For 2019, I am required to file taxes but have not filed it yet and won't be able to file before submitting my application. Is it okay if Tick NO and submit?
