gsade: @ your last paragraph, there is a reason Turbo Tax and the other service providers require that information. Like i said earlier, you would not see the amount on your tax returns but it influences how much personal federal tax credits you are entitled to which in turn influences your refund/amount owing. I've filed my taxes and that of some others myself and i am 100% certain it impacts your tax refund. Please see screenshot below from CRA website and let me know if you still hold your opinion. It's always best to declare your full income and let them decide what to do with that information.

behati: Reading this, I agree. Yes, I did read this particular information but I did not interpret it like this. And my experience may be justifies my interpretation. Now, it is from this information that I figured that one cannot claim all of the non-refundable tax (the 12k) and that it would be pro rated. You are correct. It reminds me of something that happened when I was filing my returns. Before I supplied my income from when I was not resident, turbo tax was applying the full credit and I knew it could not be. So I went back to fill that out and then turbo applied the pro rated tax credit. To that extent I do accept your position, when I think about it, But again, I do retain some misgivings. While the above was true for me, my wife had no non-resident income and so reported 0 income in that non-resident part of the year but yet she could not claim the full non-refundable tax. We were given the same pro rated amount from the data we landed in Canada. This is something I cannot explain, are you able to shed some light on this in case you know why this was this case for her too? Thanks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

SunshineD1:Covid-19 Anyone landing for the first time will have a very hard time doing the basics, getting SIN(most service Canada offices are closed), opening a bank account et al. In Ottawa, the apartment complexes that currently have vacancies are not doing viewings so you'll basically be renting an apartment without seeing it. You'll spend so much to accomplish so little especially if you don't have family that can accommodate you. 11 Likes |

Pls, I need direction ( I know even know wetin I go call am). I would like awon seniors to please help me on a special situation. I just discovered citizenship status oo. I am confused on many points as to a place to live, how to move some assets in a lawful manner, and family (madam and bonboy). I am almost 40 and no so called canadian experience. I would appreciate if what I can do can be suggested. Na Engineering I study for 9ja. I practice as IT engineer, but with lot of training. I would really appreciate concise advice so that I dont mess up. I have tried reading as much as possible since last week I discovered this thread. |

I think it is all perspective and I also have faith in the fact that what you believe will come to you. Even is there was no COVID issue, airbnb is an option and you can stay there till you get on your feet. I know someone who got landed in March and has gotten a job in his field. SIN can be registered for online now, a bank account can be opened without visiting the bank. You might just have to wait to make deposits. Truth is, be hopeful. The economy wont be fully awake for many months but it wont deter our lot. AZeD1: 13 Likes 1 Share |

AngelSpace:I'm addition to what AZed already metioned, it can be tough to get some jobs during this period especially if we are to go by the news and the mandatory 2 weeks quarantine for people traveling into Canada, slow services, etc However, I like your faith and optimism. I agree that people are still getting jobs, and the economy is still moving ahead. I wish you the very best in whatever decision you make as per landing or not landing at this time. 13 Likes |

AngelSpace: I applaud your optimism and encourage it. Positivity is over important. But note that optimism won't change the reality that this is a very very difficult period. Of course people are getting jobs, but people are also losing their jobs. So tay even walmart was making shakara with jobs. Thank God for CERB and other government interventions sha, but this is a tough season for most, talkless of those not yet established. 9 Likes |
