Taxation on Restricted Stock Units granted before moving to Canada

W.r.t the taxation of the RSU's income that are granted in 2020/2021 but vested in 2021, how are these to be taxed from Canada perspective

 

1. Would the entire amount be taxed in Canada (since its on T4) and a foreign Tax credit be taken for the US taxes.

2. Would the RSU amount be split into 2 portions   based on no. of work days in Canada divided by total holding period [grant to vest date] and be taxed only for the Canada specific percentage

We would suggest that you contact the Canada Revenue Agency so that they can direct you.
