Thanks for the reply, truesmile. That's reassuring. It was the primary residence for both of us for 5 years, and the apartment was in her family name. My main concern was that we transferred a large portion of the funds to my account before landing.

Hi folks, Before moving to Canada last year, my wife sold her home in Macedonia. I have read that, for individuals, any foreign residence sale before becoming a Canadian resident is not taxable in Canada. But I'm wondering how it works for married couples when the sponsor is Canadian. So my...

Thanks for the replies. Just to clarify - we have been married since 2010 so the Option C was definitely during our marriage.
