Clarification Regarding Tax Obligations for Foreign Income

[KuttyFernandez]

Hello,

I would like to clarify a few points regarding my tax obligations.

I have held permanent resident (PR) status in Canada for the past two years. However, after completing a soft landing, I remained outside the country and have only recently moved here.

My current employment, salary, and bank account are all based in United Arab Emirates. I would like to understand how foreign income is treated for tax purposes in Canada. Specifically, if I do not disclose my overseas employment and income while filing taxes, how would the government become aware of it, and what are the potential implications (I know as a rule you have to disclose but what If you dont)? anyone has experience for similar thing?

Do authorities actively track or assess income earned outside Canada? Up to this point, I have not filed any taxes in Canada related to my foreign income or sources. Moving forward, I will also be working in Canada and intend to properly file taxes on that income.

I would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed correctly.

Thank you.

Hello everyone! I really like your debate about tax requirements for overseas income—it's such an important topic, especially for new immigrants navigating the financial world. According to my experience, staying up to date on tax treaties and understanding how different sources of income are taxed can help us avoid unexpected expenses in the future.
