The income earned outside of Canada in the year you arrived will have been already taxed and won’t be taxed again in Canada (meaning no double-taxation). However, it is important to record this income on your tax return as it helps to calculate which non-refundable tax credits you may be eligible to claim in Canada.
Part XIII income is generally passive, investment income in Canada. Part XIII income is subject to Part XIII income tax, which is 25% of the gross amount. Some common examples of passive income streams are dividends, interest, rent, and royalties.
