Hello All,

Need a clarification.

I got my PR cards during May 2016 after i made our landing during March 2016. For Filling Tax return do i have to for the year 2016. I have not moved to Canada still and plan to move permanently by end of the this year. I am working in UAE currently. A little bit confused in i have to file and what income shall i declare?

1)You will have to file the tax return
2)You will have to declare all the income(Earned in Canada and abroad) since you landed

1. No, if the OP had no earnings and Canada, and didn't become a tax resident according to CRA, then s/he doesn't have to file an income tax return for 2016. As it appears, s/he just "landed" and left, wouldn't have become a tax resident.
