Hi everyone,
I made a silly mistake that I was completely unaware of requirement to change of marital status with CRA since my wife has never landed in Canada. I have been filing tax as “single” for almost 10 years while actually married to a Non-resident spouse.
- My wife has No immigration status in canada.
- She made around 5-6k/year back in her country.
- I have never claimed for any spousal benefit or CCB.
- I have low income for most of them time (~5-9k/year), some year with no income and rely on family support. I have never claimed for welfare or unemployment benefit.
Now I am really worried about to send cra a letter to explain and form rc65 to change of status. I do not know how angry they gonna be and how much penalties for really late updating information.
Could anyone has been through the similar situation and has knowledge on this matter give me advise wwhat to do. Appreciate and thank you very much for any help.
