Hi,
I became a PR in June 2017 (I was working in the US since 2015 so I did my PR landing in Jun 2017, stayed 7 days with my spouse and returned back to work in US). I came back again for 10 days to visit my spouse in Canada. I only moved for good from US to Canada in July 2018 and filed my taxes for 2018 (even though I did not work at all in Canada in 2018), 2019, 2020.
Now I am filling the Candian citizenship application and am stuck on question 12b where I have to mention whether I was required to file taxes for 2017 or not. I tried calling CRA to get their inputs on my tax residency status for 2017 but waited for 4 hours on the call with no response. Could you please provide your inputs on what should I mention in the form (was I required or not to file taxes in 2017)?
Using this opportunity to ask a few more questions:
- Can I provide IELTS Academic as the "Proof of Language Evidence"? The dropdown only has IELTS General Training as the option.
- I got my Indian passport renewed while in Canada. What to fill in "Country of Issue" for this passport (Question 14).
Thanks in advance for all your help.
