Dear

Thanks for the information.

I wish to know that canada taxes its residents on their world income, but if person has earned income in canada and native country ie india -- then why does canada tax the person on world income, since that individual has already paid tax in their native country ie india

Wouldnt this be double taxation by Canada ?

Thanks

Certain countries had signed tax treaties with Canada to avoid double taxation on individuals. I suggest you check whether there is the treaty with India before posting this question.

answered you in another post but as Steaky mentions as well best to double check if there is a tax treaty between India and Canada
