Immigrants to Canada returning after an extended period abroad

Return To Main Services Page

As someone who was previously a Canadian tax resident you probably already have a good understanding of how the Canadian tax system works. I can provide re-entry counselling which includes a discussion of any major tax changes in the past few years that would affect you as well as any steps you need to take to reintegrate into Canadian society as a law abiding taxpayer.  

Services I offer to a returning resident of Canada include:  

1. Counselling via phone or email before you return to explain all the rules.
2. Prepare and mail your Canadian tax return reporting just your non-resident rental income before the June 30th deadline if that applies.
3. Prepare and e-file your Canadian tax return reporting your world wide income after your date of entry.
4. Prepare a section 45(2) election to tax exempt the gains on your principle residence while you were gone if this was not done before you left originally.      
5. Deal with the Canada Revenue Agency on your behalf to straighten out any issues that may arise.  

Once you are back and settled, I can continue to file your returns for you if you like or you can return to filing them yourself if you are comfortable doing so. I have many clients that used to have international issues but have since returned to Canada that still use my services because they feel that I offer great value and advice to them every year.
