Hello Everyone!

So a bit of back story, I have lived in Canada between Jan 2010 - Nov 2014. At the time I was on study and work permits, with the temp SIN numbers starting with '9', filed my taxes through different individuals as I lived in different cities, I've lived in BC (Jan 2010-Sept 2011) ON (Oct 2011 - Apr 2014) AB (Apr 2014 - Nov 2014), hopefully being a good resident and filing taxes every year. I had to leave Canada because my work permit expired and I applied for immigration and now happy to be back as a landed immigrant, with a new SIN. I've again moved provinces (from ON to AB)

Now I have to flie for my taxes for 2018 and I believe 2014 as well, since that was the year I left without filing. I've talked to a lot of people and they directed me online as the best method to apply for taxes. I tried registering for a CRA My Account, but can't because of the Error—ERR.062, which I called CRA about and they directed me to get my Old SIN (since I don't remember what it is) My questions are:

Can I apply for 2014 and 2018 at the same time? If yes, can I apply for both online? Would you rather suggest I get some assistance this time around as well and get my taxes filed through someone else? Have you or someone you know been in the same boat as me?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much in advance!

I doubt you can find a 2014 tax preparation software. Your best bet is to go to a tax preparation company like HR Block. They will have the tax software for 2014. for 2018, just file a paper return using your new SIN.

Agreed. You will most probably need to pay for 2014 software.

I had similar issue. Worked in Canada in 2015 and 2016 on Work pemit and then moved to USA. Filed 2016 returns in 2017 with US address. Returned back as PR in 2019. Tried to access account to check TFSA contribution room and got same error. Called CRA. I was advised to file Change of address with CRA before they can calculate my TFSA room. I was also advised to file $0 return for financial year 2017 so that my online account access can be restored.
