Moving to Canada doesn't erase your financial history. Foreign bank accounts, property, pensions, and investments must be reported — often from day one. We help newcomers, immigrants, and international investors stay fully compliant without paying a dollar more than they owe.
Tell us your situation. We'll tell you exactly where you stand.
We'll reach out within 24 hours — usually same day.
Canada taxes residents on their worldwide income — not just what you earn here. From the moment you become a Canadian tax resident, the clock starts on your foreign reporting obligations.
This isn't about intent. The CRA doesn't distinguish between not knowing and not filing. Penalties are the same either way — and they compound fast.
We've helped clients from dozens of countries understand their obligations, get caught up without penalty, and build a tax structure that works across borders.
Talk to a Specialist FreeWrong. The T1135 Foreign Income Verification form is required for foreign property over $100K CAD — even if it earns nothing.
You may still owe Canadian tax. Tax treaties help, but they don't eliminate your filing obligations here.
If your accountant isn't familiar with cross-border rules, this is a costly mistake. Canadian residents report worldwide.
Late T1135 penalties start at $25/day up to $2,500 per year — plus up to 5% of the unreported property value for repeated failures.
You just landed in Canada and have assets back home — bank accounts, property, mutual funds, provident funds. We map out exactly what you need to report and when.
Rental income from abroad, a family home, or inherited land. All of it must be reported. We handle the filing and make sure you're claiming all treaty credits available to you.
You own or control a foreign corporation, partnership, or trust. T1134 and T1141 filings are mandatory and complex — we handle them correctly.
EPF, CPF, 401k, NHS pension, foreign brokerage accounts — each has unique Canadian tax treatment. We know the rules for the most common home countries.
Lived abroad for years and now back in Canada? Re-entry requires re-establishing tax residency correctly, declaring cost basis on foreign assets, and unwinding offshore structures.
Haven't filed T1135 for past years? We use the CRA Voluntary Disclosure Program to get you caught up — often eliminating penalties entirely before CRA finds you first.
Annual foreign asset verification for all specified foreign property over $100K. We prepare and file accurately — avoiding the penalties that catch most newcomers off guard.
Your first Canadian tax return is the most complex — arrival date, residency status, foreign income proration, and treaty elections all need to be done right from the start.
If you own or control a foreign affiliate, annual T1134 filings are mandatory. We handle the disclosure and advise on FAPI and surplus account implications.
Canada has tax treaties with 90+ countries. We analyze your situation against the relevant treaty to ensure you claim every foreign tax credit available and avoid double taxation.
If you haven't filed required foreign disclosures in past years, a properly structured VDP application can eliminate penalties and reduce interest — before CRA comes looking.
Leaving Canada or just arriving? We handle deemed disposition on departure, deemed acquisition on arrival, and all the elections that most accountants miss.
Tell us where you're from, what you own, and when you arrived. We map out your obligations in plain language — no forms, no charge.
We identify every filing you need — current year and any back years — and give you a clear quote with no surprises.
You provide documents. We handle all the CRA forms, treaty analysis, and cross-border calculations. You review and approve.
We stay on top of your filing obligations year over year so nothing slips — even as your cross-border situation evolves.
