Hi,

I need to know the tax rule for those who do short landing and later return to Canada permanently? Are they supposed to pay taxes on the income they earned in their home country during this time i.e. before they returned to Canada? I read it on one of the forms for Child benefits where they asked for your annual income (including world income) and the taxes you paid. So it made me wonder what is it going to be like? Do we have to declare our world income for the period between short landing and returning back to Canada? If yes, do we have to show our tax certificates etc ?

No. Until you become a "tax resident", you do not have any tax liability.
