I have a have a foreign tax credit from the USA for a rental property

[Canadianlad]

I have a have a foreign tax credit from the USA for a rental property. I entered the details in the "Foreign Tax Credits" page (income, deduction, tax paid). However  when I click continue and go to the "Foreign tax credit summary" it does not show a credit. Nor does the tax refund calculator increase. What could I be doing wrong?

Assuming this is the only US income you are getting, it may also depend on your Canadian tax bracket.
