Hey everyone!

I've got a question about the RQ, since we will be receiving it from Damascus sooner or later! ;)

I see it has a question "Has your sponsor filed the most recent annual tax filing with the Canada Revenue Agency as a factual resident of Canada?", well I'm the sponsor and I have not filed my taxes because I have lived in Canada for only 5 months, I'm not employed yet and I don't have income and I'm relying on my savings from my country. Is this a reasonable explanation?! I wrote this as an explanation for why I'm not sending in an option-C printout when sending our application to CPC-M, and I was approved with no problem, but I'm not sure about this RQ thing.

Thanks a lot.

Even if you don't have job or income from Canada, you still have to do the annaul tax return.

Dear vivi, all canadian citizens must file taxes, its just a NIL RETURN, which means 0 $ return, you can still do it, simply go to an accountant, say i didnt work , here is my sin number and thats it, i spent MOST of 2010 in iran , when i came back it was july, i went to an accountant and told them file my taxes, it took 2 mins, 0 0 0 0 , 0 return haha, 2 weeks later i called Revenue agency, i got my option c printout, which like i said was 0 and thats it ! you can still do it now , the MAIN reason for the tax return is to prove to them that listen i want to live here, not how much money you claim ! and when they approved your file it means they understand you being here for 5 months you are going to have a 0 return anyway so option c isnt needed, and when you get your RQ you can do the same and explain, or just file your tax before you get the RQ, they contact the revenue agency anyway so its no big deal

Thanks a lot Sohrab jan, a great response as always. :)

The thing is isn't it an annual tax return? I mean I came to Canada in late December 2010. I'm not a citizen, so that makes 2010 nothing for me, and we are only in the fifth month of 2011. So for which year should I file my taxes for? I became a PR in the last two weeks of 2010 and 2011 has not finished yet! ;) I'm pretty confused! :)

Thanks again.
