@rainazoe @behati is right. For 2018, you were a “factual resident” and you must file taxes of your world income. Did you have a bank account, credit card, provincial health insurance, etc here in 2018? Any of these could be classified as secondary ties for tax residency purposes. Taxes are filed by February of each year up until April 30th. If you can show proof of having paid taxes in Nigeria for 2018, then you would be able to avoid double taxation. With regards to child benefit, you must file taxes to maintain eligibility for it. Since you haven’t been here, I suppose that you haven’t been receiving child benefits anyway. If you are having your first child now, there is an automatic child benefit application form that you fill in the hospital. I would advice that when you are leaving Canada, give CRA a call before you do to tell them you are leaving. More info about tax residency status can be found here https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/information-been-moved/determining-your-residency-status.html and you can always contact CRA. If you ask me I would say file taxes anyway irrespective of deemed resident, deemed non resident or factual resident. 14 Likes 16 Shares |

SkyWalk12: Exactly.....the irony though when it is a Christian claiming holy holy. As long as you are committing one sin or the other, you have no right to point fingers at people. I work with people who identify as LGBTQIA. Some of these people have opened their doors for me to enter their country. I stopped talking to one muslim woman who was invited(by another christian family) to our church's end of year and she was there talking about how being gay is a sin and the 14years sentence in Nigeria. Her husband couldn't get funding so they had to leave the country. Good riddance. Now they are fighting to come back. Stay in Naija and practice Sharia biko I really do not care about anyone's sexuality as long as they are not hurting anyone. Imagine someone living with a boyfriend and talking about how being gay is a sin. Living with a person you are not married to or fornicating isn't a sin? since na you practice christianity pass ![]() If I owned a company tomorrow, and a gay person applied for a job and interviewed very well better than an heterosexual person, be rest assured I am offering the former the job. Make them carry me go Mountain of fire for deliverance if them wish ![]() 20 Likes |

To the lady that lost her relationship because she fought for her man, YOU ARE A WINNER! You can only fight for people you truly love and cherish. To parents and intending ones here, try and bring up all your children well, including your sons. Teach them how to do all chores, there is no female chores and male chores. Be mindful of expressions you use, e.g." You are a girl, or you are a boy, therefore, you must learn to do this or that". If a boy child is comfortable with chores and well raised like his sister, some of these arguments we had for 2 days would not have even come up in the first place. They would not need people to remind them to help their wives at home. They would not be riddled with complex desperately looking for submission because the women in their lives would genuinely submit to them. 49 Likes 1 Share |

Tojued: The prices are for all o. Just that with Lufthansa, we will get transferred to Air Canada for the 8 hr flight from Frankfurt to Toronto and I learnt its a smaller aircraft |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Tojued: 5:53pm On Dec 24, 2018 |
titiclassy: Okay, now I see your concerns. You might have to get the exact flight number, then Google it up to see what planes are used on that route and comfort etc. Anyway someone shared lufthansa landing gist couple of days back and had no complaint. She even said food service was endless. Read back the most recent landing gists to contact the person directly. Pls how did you get such a good deal from lufthansa? Are they doing a promo? 1 Like |

If Lufthansa flight time is shorter please go for it. I have flown both Egypt and Ethiopian to CA and the long flight times got to me Welcome to the thread. titiclassy: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by titiclassy: 6:41pm On Dec 24, 2018 |
rainazoe: Thanks @rainazoe and @Tojued. I have made up my mind to do Lufthansa with the feedbacks. However I still got some choose: 1. Layover in FRA for 3 hrs.50 and use Air Canada (smaller) to Toronto OR 2. Layover in FRA for 7 hrs and use same Lufthansa (big plabne) to Toronto. Can 7hrs layover be a nightmare with kids Consider I have 2 hyper actives (toddler and.baby) . I need d comfort.. 1 Like |
