Lets say I want to immigrate to Canada and get PR.
Lets say I have stocks in my country and they pay yearly divined of $15,000
and I have a house back home that I rent for $10,000 per year
My total income that was 100% generated in my home country is $25,000. There is no income tax in my country that I am from.

Will my income be subject to Canadian tax when I immigrate?

Yes! Canadians need to pay taxes on their world-wide income. Only when you sever residential ties with Canada and declare yourselves as a non-resident is when you lo longer have to pay taxes on non-Canadian income.

The day you become PR your global income becomes taxable, furthermore, if your assets are over CAD100000 then you need to file a form t1135 (specified foreign property)
