You should report your wife's world income before and after arriving in Canada > you report the Canadian income and the foreign income > CRA requires this information to determine the eligibility for certain credits and benefits:

  • Enter her world income until June 2019 including the foreign income. 
  • Enter the income after the date of entry even if it was from a foreign source > so if after arriving in Canada if she was still receiving income from a foreign country she will have to report it under the foreign income profile when she gets her SIN number to file the return.

 

 

Their net income for 2019 (line 23600 of their 2019 Federal tax return)

income in Canada even if she was still receiving funds from a foreign country that was not from employment (interests, pension)

Their net income while you were living outside of Canada,

Income from January to June. (her income even prior to marriage)

Is your spouse's net income zero? 

Yes or No depends on how you answered the first question
