Should I, as a non-resident, report all or part of American Social Security income, if I moved mid year in June 2017 back to the US?

According to the CRA guidelines for Non-Residents, you should only report on your Canadian Tax Return the income from your US Social Security for the part of the tax year that you were a resident of Canada.


What income do you have to report?
Part of the tax year that you WERE a resident of Canada
Report your world income (income from all sources, both inside and outside Canada) on your Canadian tax return.
Part of the tax year that you WERE NOT a resident of Canada
After you leave Canada, as a non-resident, you pay Canadian income tax only on your Canadian source income. However, only certain types of Canadian source income should be reported on your return while others are subject to non-resident withholding tax at source.
