Its time to file your taxes, so I thought I should give you guys a few tips if you are working and paying your taxes.
If you havn't added your spouse to your tax return then do it as soon as possible. Add your foreign spouse on your tax return. They will ask you to state your spouses total income for 2011 in Canadian dollars and submit a copy of your marriage certificate. So you should send a copy of translation of your Nikkah nama and a copy of your original Nikkah nama.
Huge Benefit:
If you include your spouse in your tax return, you will get a lot more return if your spouse isn't working abroad or working but has very little income in CAD. Talk to your accountant and work out the scenarios. Last year I included my spouse in my tax return and I got back a big chunk of the Fed & Provincial tax portion back.
Thank me later
