I worked in Canada in 2024 and had some stock that vested in 2025, which requires me to file a Canadian tax return. However, I did not live in Canada in 2025 and am filing as a non-resident.
I’m confused about whether I need to report my global income. I’ve found conflicting information online—some sources say only Canadian-sourced income needs to be reported. My refund amount also changes significantly depending on whether I include global income or not.
I want to make sure I’m following the correct process and avoid any issues later. Does anyone have experience with this or guidance on how to handle it?
