Place: Immigration Process and Canada

place: While you may be focused on your move to a new place, you do need to make sure you notify everyone that you are leaving, according to Huffington Post Canada. This should include the taxman. From going through the immigration process to finding a place to live, to moving all of your possessions, it takes a considerable amount of work and coordination. Non-residents of Canada are not entitled to various benefits such as the Canada Child Benefit CCB so waiting until you file your return to notify the Canada Revenue Agency CRA you left will often result in having to repay some of the money. If you forget, you may continue to receive T slips instead of being subject to a different withholding tax amount, which will often trigger a letter from CRA asking you to file a return. You should also notify any company or organization that pays you income and make sure they change your status in their system and not just your address. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
