Filing Income Tax Returns after leaving Canada

[Abhishek1991]

I was a temporary foreign worker in Canada for 2 years 11 months and 15 days and left Canada during Sept 2024. I realized now that I have to file my Canadian tax returns as I have stayed there for more than 183 days. My questions are the following :

a) How to go about it? I don't have my T4 slip at the moment.
b) I don't have the documents which mention my previous returns ( every time I had to pay some extra amount due to some inefficiency from the HR). How do I obtain them now that I am in a different country. I am not able to access this via the CRA website. I believe that these documents would be helpful when I declare my foreign income back in my current location and avoid double taxation.

Hello,
You are required to file your Canadian tax return and enter your date of departure from Canada on your return. This informs the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) of your change in residency status. You can grant access to your accountant, and they can handle the filing on your behalf. CRA has updated the authorization process - you must now log into your CRA My Account and grant access to your accountant directly.

Let me know if you have any questions.
