Hello there.
I'm a newcome to Canada with a permanent residency. Here are some dates that might help you out in understanding my situation:
  • Last day of employment before I travel was Nov 30
  • Landed: December 3 (aka I was out of employment)
  • Opened a Canadian bank account: December 4 and deposeted my savings which I got with me - <50K CAD (aka, I didn't even have to pay any tax on my savings, nor did I get any interest for my bank deposits, not until January)
  • Started employment in Canada: January 8
Now, it's the tax filing season and I'm not sure how to do this since I had no income (not interest).
So technically, I am not sure if I need to file any taxes for 2023, and if so, what should I put in line 15000?

Much appreciated if someone can help me out with this.
 
If you had no income for 2023 you dont need to file as your income was pre the date you became a tax resident in Canada. Residency is a grey area though!
