A non-resident of Canada, who's earned income from Canada, is subject to Canadian income tax requirements. Non-residents who are required to file a Canadian T1 return will report the income subject to these requirements, and claim available tax credits and deductions.
Recipients of many types of passive Canadian-sourced income pay a withholding tax and don't file a Canadian tax return. Non-resident recipients of rental, acting, or pension income may be able to elect to file a return and pay tax on taxable income instead of paying the withholding tax on gross income. A non-resident recipient of Old Age Security income may be required to file a special return.
The T1 return for a non-resident who's required to file will generally take one of two forms:
An NR4 slip is issued by residents of Canada (and in some cases by nonresidents) who have paid certain amounts to a Canadian nonresident. The slip issuer must withhold tax from the payment to the nonresident and remit it to the government. For more detail click here
