    <rant> Why does CIC pick on self-employed people?

    As a Canadian business person, let me assure you that it is entirely possible for OP to own a company and be paid by that company and not be issued a T4. Example 1: OP receives no salary or wage from the company, but receives loan payments, because OP capitalized the company by lending it...

    <rant> Why does CIC pick on self-employed people?

    Not enough time has passed for OP to have received a response from their RQ submission. It could be a year or more before they learn the outcome. The RQ is interested in T4's of OP's income, not the T4's issued by OP to their employees. (Submitting OP's employee's T4's to IRCC is likely a...

    Residency Questionnaire

    The questions are enumerated in such a way, with ample explanation, so that someone without property, for example, would know they were not required to provide those submissions. The same goes for other questions. I'm afraid, in my rush to brevity, I did not make that clear.

    Residency Questionnaire

    I believe that being a U.S. citizen does not heighten the chances of receiving an RQ. However, having lots of trips to the U.S. would heighten such scrutiny, which is understandable, as IRCC is concerned with the applicant meeting the presence requirements. It would be economic suicide for...

    My concern was with incomplete CRA tax filing requirements. "Resident for tax purposes" is not simply a matter of time spent in Canada, but can also include non obvious criteria. A PR who earns a significant enough income and who fails to be resident in any jurisdiction for tax purposes, for...

    Was her "primary residence" in Canada (even if she was resident for less than half a year)? If so, and she earned income (whether in Canada our outside Canada), she may be required to file taxes with CRA.
