Seniors and students

According to CRA for immigrants:http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/newcomers/#whtr

For the part of the tax year that you WERE NOT a resident of Canada

You have to report the following amounts:

  • income from employment in Canada or from a business carried on in Canada;
  • taxable capital gains from disposing of taxable Canadian property; and
  • taxable part of scholarships, bursaries, fellowships, and research grants you received from Canadian sources.

You report world income only after you become a resident of Canada

As you received all the pension before becoming a resident of Canada, you do not report it so it should not affect your net income
