I retired in 2021 and emigrated in April 2022. I have no property (principal residence sold and declared on 2021 return), family ties or posessions in Canada, except a TFSA. I receive a federal pension and have investment income from outside of Canada.
As I understand it, I should file a general T1 for 2022 using the tax package for my (previous) province of residence, declaring my Canadain pension for all of 2022, but my world income only upto April on the day when I left Canada. Please confirm /advise /comment. Thank you so much.
Please file a T1 general return and specify the date of emigration on the return (April 2022). In addition, contact Service Canada to inform them that you became a non-resident of Canada in April 2022, so that they begin deducting non-resident withholding tax from CPP and OAS payments made to you.
