To file taxes or not? Became PR in 2017 and currently residing in UK

[RunForever05]

Hi Everyone,

Appreciate if someone could help me with the following.

Background

• My wife and I received our COPRs in Sept' 2017.
• We currently live in London, UK where I'm employed (on an intra-company transfer visa)
• We made our landing (Toronto) in Nov' 2017 and spent 10 days in Canada before flying back to London, UK.
• We have received our SIN as well as our PR cards however, we do not have a Canadian bank account, have not earned any income in Canada as yet and do not have a residential address in Canada
• We have earnings of approximately CAD 40,000/ from Sept' to Dec' 2017 (income earned in UK; converted from GBP to CAD) and have paid taxes on these in UK. I understand that Canada and the UK have a double-taxation treaty.

Questions

• Do we need to pay any taxes for the year 2017?
• Do we need to file any returns? For instance, is there a form that we need to submit indicating all of the above?

Any help on the above would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks
