Foreign Income Earned prior to becoming a Canadian Resident

I arrived in Canada in September 2018 and began working in October 2018. I earned Irish income between January 2018 and August 2018 (pior to relocating so not while in Canada). I have entered the date that I became a resident and entered $0 for income earned from Canadian sources for the part of the year that I was not a Canadian resident. How do I answer the following question; - What was your income from foreign sources and Canadian sourced Part XIII income for the part of the year that you were not a Canadian resident? Do I enter my net Irish income from Jan to Aug translated to CAD?

Yes, you would enter your Irish income outside of Canada converted to Canadian dollars.

Thanks! Is this the only part of the return that I enter this income (baring in mind that it is income earned before becoming a Canadian resident). I'm assuming it is not noted under my T4 income. Am I correct?
