Foreign Income Declaration via WealthSimple

[NoobCanuck]

Hello,
My family (Wife + 2 kids) and I moved to Canada from India as Permanent Residents in Aug 2024. (We did a soft-landing (1 month) in Sept 2023 to get our PR cards, SINs, etc.. But we stayed in an AirBnB and did not have "significant residential ties to Canada" for tax purposes. Our rental lease agreement begins Aug 2024.)

For the 2024 Tax Year: I have been on my employer's Indian Payroll (working remotely) for the whole year and the Indian income taxes have been deducted at source from my monthly salary for each of the 12 months. During this period, I have been residing in India (from Jan through Aug 2024) and then in Canada (Aug 2024 through Dec 2024).

I understand there is a Tax Treaty between India and Canada to avoid double taxation. And because my employer is an Indian entity, I believe, I am required to pay Indian taxes (and these have been deducted each month from my pay-check.)

I am submitting my taxes using WealthSimple. And while it lets me include my non-Canadian income *prior* to Aug 2024, I have not been able to find a way to enter my non-Canadian income from Aug-2024 through Dec 2024.

Does anyone here know if there is some other way on WealthSimple (or another other tax software) to report my non-Canadian income when residing in Canada?

Thank you,
NoobCanuck

I have not worked in Canada in 2024 or prior to that. Hence, I don't yet have a CRA Account.

So you cannot file online until you have done your first tax filing, get NOA and get a CRA My Account.
