Should I file Tax with ZERO income_New Immigrant

I just have a followup question: How then will I file for CCB and Trillium benefits? I tried making a CRA account... But that will not happen till I file tax?
You have to provide proof of your international income for the past 2 years to determine what amount of CCB you will qualify for. Not sure whether you will qualify for trillium until you have more employment history in Canada. Trillium is only for people who spend a very large percentage of their income on medications. Are you and your spouse if you have one employed in Canada? Are your medication cost extremely high? Are we taking 1K+/ month? $500/month? There are many people who just have to pay a few hundred dollars out of pocket per month on medication. Trillium still requires you to pay a pretty high deductible before you get access to $2 prescriptions.
Sure.... So I am from India.... What proofs do I need to submit for my last 2 years international income??
Tax returns, proof of income from contract/regular deposits in your bank account, etc.
MY Account will not let you register unless you’ve filed the last two years of returns .
Until then you send your requests in writing to your assigned tax centre
You may not qualify for Trillium benefits. Trillium is only for situations where your medications costs are a large percentage of your income and you still have to pay a decent sized yearly deductible even if you qualify. It is not something you apply for automatically when you arrive in Ontario.
