I got married in June 2016 to my husband, who is from another country. He has been staying with me in Canada since May, and has applied for permanent residence from outside of Canada. He will be returning to his country briefly in November so as not to stay past 6 months.
He worked in his country before he came to Canada this year, but of course has not worked since we got married. He is living with me, and I am supporting him.
Does his income before we lived together and got married need to be filed when I file my taxes in Canada? He also does not have a SIN yet, of course.
I'm particularly concerned about tax credits because we just moved to Nova Scotia from BC, and I am reeling from the extra almost $100 taken out of my paycheck every 2 weeks. I can't believe I have to pay an extra $204 a month to live in Halifax from Vancouver.
