What forms to fill for a Non-Resident filing to fix a T4RSP withholding error?

Non-resident of Canada since 2021, now living in Poland (Canada-Poland have tax treaty).

 

In 2023, I only had an RRSP remaining in Canada, decided to withdraw all my funds and close the account. I was charged 30% withholding rate.

 

I called CRA, I was told to file a Non-resident return to get refund.

 

Do I need to also list all my foreign income for the year? (And if so, on which forms?)

 

My only other income for the year:

  • (Business registered in Poland) self-employment/business income of CAD $4500,
  • (Capital Gains filed in Poland) cryptocurrency profits of $0 (after subtracting from losses in 2022).

Also, my accountant in Poland was asking if I could just request to have the tax obligation moved to Poland, to pay the full taxes on the T4RSP income in Poland instead of Canada. Is that an option?
