    Investing in Canada from Abroad?

    Nonresident aliens investing in Canadian real estate, businesses, or securities face specific tax obligations that differ from resident taxpayers. Taxation of nonresident aliens requires proper remitting and reporting of income to CRA throughout the year.

    Our firm handles emigrant and non-resident taxes for individuals who left Canada or never resided here but hold Canadian investments. We manage withholding tax remittances on rental income, dividends, and interest payments and ensure every filing meets CRA deadlines.

    Foreign investors receive end-to-end support that covers property purchases, ongoing income reporting, and disposition filings. We prepare Section 116 clearance certificates, file Section 216 returns to recover excess withholding, and apply tax treaty provisions that reduce your Canadian tax burden.

    Tax Planning for Canadians Leaving Canada Permanently

    Departing Canada permanently activates substantial tax obligations requiring advance preparation and strategic planning. Our Toronto non-resident accountants guide emigrating Canadians through departure tax calculations and develop approaches that reduce the financial burden of leaving.

    CRA applies deemed disposition rules treating most worldwide assets as sold at fair market value on your departure date. This triggers immediate capital gains tax on investment portfolios, rental properties, private corporation shares, and foreign holdings. Our expert Chartered Accountants in Toronto quantify your departure tax exposure, identify available exemptions for principal residences and registered accounts, and prepare Forms T1161, T1243, and T1244 with precision.

    Pre-departure consultations allow us to implement tax-reduction strategies before you leave Canadian soil. Our Toronto team completes NR73 residency determination submissions, provides guidance on RRSP withdrawal timing and TFSA implications, and confirms you satisfy every CRA requirement as you transition from resident to non-resident status.

    Certificate of Compliance for Property Sales

    Non-residents selling Toronto real estate must secure a Certificate of Compliance from CRA before closing to release their sale proceeds. Our Toronto non-resident tax preparation team manages the complete application process and guarantees you meet strict CRA submission deadlines.

    CRA mandates Form T2062 filing within 10 days of your Toronto property sale closing date. Without obtaining this certificate, the buyer’s lawyer withholds 25% of the gross sale price and remits it directly to CRA. Our expert Toronto Chartered Accountants prepare and submit your application accurately, preventing delays, fund holdbacks, and closing complications.

    Following certificate issuance, we provide complete non-resident tax filing support in Toronto for your property disposition return. Our non-resident advisory team calculates capital gains using proper adjusted cost base, claims eligible selling expenses including legal fees and realtor commissions, and applies Canada-US treaty benefits where applicable to minimize your final tax liability. Many Toronto non-resident clients receive substantial refunds after we file their Section 116 return and recover excess withholding amounts from CRA.

    International Tax Services for Canadians with Overseas Income in Toronto

    Canadians receiving income from foreign sources navigate complex CRA reporting requirements and face potential double taxation without proper planning. Our Toronto international tax accountants deliver strategic tax planning ensuring full Canadian compliance while reducing your worldwide tax exposure.

    We prepare personal tax returns for Toronto residents earning employment income, business profits, and investment returns from overseas sources. Our expert Chartered Accountants report foreign income correctly on your T1 return, handle currency conversions to Canadian dollars using proper exchange rates, and claim all eligible deductions available under Canadian tax law.

    Foreign tax credits eliminate double taxation on income already taxed by another country. Our Toronto team prepares Form T2209 claiming credits for taxes remitted to foreign governments and applies bilateral treaty provisions reducing Canadian tax on pensions, dividends, and other specific income categories. We evaluate your complete tax situation across all jurisdictions and build strategies optimizing your combined position.

    Toronto residents relocating abroad, working remotely for international employers, or maintaining foreign investment portfolios receive ongoing advisory support from our office. We monitor evolving tax legislation across multiple countries and modify your filing approach to preserve compliance and capture maximum tax savings.
