Thanks for your reply. I started to use the tax pack from CRA, but oh boy after 3 hrs gave up - too many schedules referring to forms referring to your return - I'm an accountant and found it the most frustrating and inefficient form ever. So what I've done is just entered my T4 details (all I had was a bonus because I actually left Canada in Dec 2021 but the bonus was paid in Feb 2022) and left it as that. I'm relying on the CRA page under 'What is a section 217 election ' which says 'the tax withheld is usually your final tax obligation to Canada on this income and you do NOT have to file a Canadian income tax and benefit return to report it'. From my understanding you can so a section 217 election if you think the tax withheld was wrong - but I know mine is correct. So fingers crossed with my return. Will post tmrw (26 April ) another frustrating thing why non-residents can't electronically file is ridiculous and belongs in the last century 😀
