Income from foreign sources and Canadian sourced Part XIII income for the part of the year that you were not a Canadian resident

I came across this question at the very beginning of filing my tax return.  I arrived at Canada last December and became a Canadian tax resident.  For the eleven months before coming to Canada, I had taxable employment income and non-taxable investment income from my home country but no Canadian sourced income.  I don't know why I need to state my income when I was not a Canadian resident.  Can anybody help me answer this question please?  btw, what's the meaning of Part XIII income?
