I moved to Canada in 2020 from a different country. Can i claim moving expenses ?

You are able to claim moving expenses if:

  • you are an employee or a self-employed individual who moved from outside Canada to a new work location in Canada, from Canada to a new work location outside Canada, or between two locations outside Canada
  • you are a deemed or factual resident of Canada, and the move was from one place where you ordinarily resided to live in another place where you will ordinarily reside
  • you moved during the year and established a new home to start a new job or a business
    you earned employment income or self-employed income at your new location
  • your new home that you established is at least 40 kilometres closer to the new place of work or business than your previous home was
