Hi everybody,
I recently got my PR status as a common-law partner, my partner is Canadian I am from the UK. After first stage approval I was allowed to get a work permit and started working as soon as I received it last August, so I accumulated 5 months pay and taxes etc. for 2011. Obviously I need to file a tax return, my questions are:
a) do I file as a common-law partner even though I didn't actually become a common-law partner until Feb 2012?
b) Do I then enter all the relevant info about my spouse/common-law partner on the T1?
c) Should I have been included on my partners tax return?
Many thanks for your help
Lloyd
