Resident to Non-resident for tax year 2016 (New Zealand)

Feb 14, 2017

Worked in Canada until April 2016.
Job offer in New Zealand, so worked there from April on wards and been here since. NZ employer.

CRA deemed non-resident status as of August 2016 via NR73 (Due to wife still being in Canada sorting things out)

Filed my Canadian income like I would usually do, but added the following for the income earned in NZ:

line 104 - other employment income (foreign income)

What I am confused is: do I enter the same amount in line 256 additional deductions/other income exempt under a tax treaty OR do I fill a new form T2209 Federal foreign tax credits for non-business income?

NZ has a tax treaty with Canada, and my tax is withheld/deducted with my pay here in NZ.

Anyone in the same situation before, please help

Cheers!
