Hello everyone,
I became a PR in 2019, did a soft landing and have returned permanently in Feb 2022.
1.) I understand that I won't be able to contribute to RRSP this year, as I have never filed tax returns before in Canada. Will it be possible to file for my previous year showing my foreign income and show the proof that I have paid my taxes there? Would this help with me contributing to RRSP?
2.) My child is going for child care now, can I apply for child care benefits by doing the tax filing I mentioned above?
Hope someone who had a similar journey can help to advice on the best way forward.
