Is it true that new PRs are exempt from declaring foreign property for the first tax year?

Only comment I will make is that you would need to declare and pay tax on any capital gain between the time you establish residence in Canada and the time you sell. For more accurate information refer to the CRA website.

You will disclose foreign property over CAD 100k while filing taxes. If you land in July 2018, then you will not get opportunity to declare foreign property until you file your taxes in 2019.
