Thank you! My husband does not have a visitor record he is from visa exempt country and did not have his passport stamped! Do you think a letter of explanation on that would be sufficient?
Yeah I believe so, how long has he been in Canada?
Thanks for the recommendation! I thought we would need the temporary tax number to be able to file the taxes together, as I wanted to declare him as my dependent. What would be put as his SIN ?
You should put his SIN on your tax return as 000 000 000 and they will know that he doesn't have a SIN
But I think to declare him as a dependent though you do need a temporary tax number so you should file for it soon as it takes time, normally the temporary tax number should take a month or month and a half to get it while it takes longer if you filed with tax return
I filed for it separatly but got delayed so much due to missing documents and filed in the wrong time in April so make sure you file for it now
By the way it's only your husband that can't file online, you can still file online if you usually file online
You can call CRA too and double check

Hi,

My husband and I are trying to apply for the temporary tax number. Did you have to send in certified copies of the documents (like passport, marriage certificate, etc.)? or just the copies are fine?

If I remember correctly, yes, the copies must be certified. I sent my docs for the temporary tax number last Monday. Waiting for their correspondence back.

He has been here for 7 months now, we have applied for a visitor extension while we are waiting for OWP approval.
One month is not too bad, we can still make it for this year then! Thank you for your help.
