When the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requests information about your date of arrival and departure, as well as details of your income, they seek to confirm your residency status and ensure accurate reporting of your income.
- Provide the exact dates you established and severed residential ties in Canada. Include documents that can verify these dates, such as copies of your passport showing entry and exit stamps.
- If you were employed in Canada, provide a copy of your T4 slip that summarizes your earnings and deductions.
- If you had other sources of income (such as self-employment income, rental income, etc.), provide documentation for those as well. This could include invoices, bank statements, or contracts.
- If you were a non-resident or part-year resident, you might need to provide a statement of all worldwide income earned during the year.
