Yes, it's mandatory to have the past 3 years of Canadian tax returns. Your back home tax returns will not be accepted.Like I mentioned above, am only 6 months or so old here as a PR in Canada. So, have not yet filed for the "Canadian Taxes" yet. But have home country records of the taxes filed (which I don't think be relevant.. ) However, been in the same company as I am here in Canada back in home country. (if that matters to show consistency to income and tax filing... )
If lucky to have received the invite to apply for this sponsorship, then was just trying to plan if by next year, I can have 2020's Tax returns.. So I'll have one for 2020.
Will that work? or is mandatory to have a past 3 year old "Canadian" Tax Returns ?
You don't qualify. Refusal is automatic if you don't meet these mandatory requirements.
You'll need to wait three years before you can qualify.
