Non-Resident - Report non-taxable income from other country?

[utelurtz]

As a non-resident the income form another country has to be reported in order to calculate the allowable amount of non-refundable credits (90% rule). -> this is cristal clear

BUT

How about the income from the other country, if this is non-taxable income in the other country? Does it need to be reported on the Canadian tax return?

It is a matter of getting around $500 refund or $500 tax owing. So this question is important.

My understanding is that all income has to be reported, but you could always call the CRA to confirm.
