I recently had the pleasure of working with Waqar, my accountant, and I can't say enough good things about his services. From the very beginning, it was clear that he values professionalism and has a deep understanding of accounting principles. His communication skills are outstanding. Waqar always takes the time to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to understand, which has been incredibly helpful for me. Whether it’s through emails or phone calls, he is always responsive and makes it a point to address any questions I have promptly. I never felt like I was in the dark about my finances, which is a huge relief. One of the aspects I appreciate most about Waqar is his punctuality. He consistently meets deadlines, whether it’s for filing taxes or preparing financial reports. I’ve had experiences in the past where accountants would delay tasks, but Waqar has always delivered on time without compromising quality. Overall, I highly recommend Waqar for any accounting needs. His combination of expertise, clear communication, and reliability sets him apart from others in the field.

However, Waqar's knowledge and expertise make the process much smoother and relaxed. I really appreciate Waqar's consistent patience and responsiveness to my detailed questions and concerns. Given my future aspirations of working abroad, having reliable, trustworthy, affordable, and highly skilled cross-border accounting services is very important to me. Therefore, I highly recommend Waqar Naqvi and Tax Return Filers, and look forward to their continued services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Waqar for over 5 years for my personal and business taxes as well as tax planning. Waqar is a true professional, he is extremely knowledgeable in his field and always gives the best advice in the complex of scenarios. Waqar's patience and professionalism is highly impressive. He is very responsive and communicates really well. It is hard to find tax professionals who look at the big picture, I find that Waqar, always looks at my entire financial picture and gives tax advice which is the most appropriate for my situation. Tax time is stressful enough and working with Waqar has made this process a lot easier. I would highly recommend Waqar and his team to anyone looking for a great tax partner.

Got Any Questions?

A Certificate of Compliance is a clearance document CRA issues to non-residents selling Canadian property. This certificate confirms you paid the estimated capital gains tax and authorizes your lawyer to release sale proceeds held in trust.

To obtain a Certificate of Compliance you file Form T2062 with CRA within 10 days of your property sale closing date. The application includes property details, purchase and sale information, and estimated capital gains calculations.

Non-residents disposing of Canadian real estate and taxable Canadian property require this certificate. Without it, the buyer or their lawyer must withhold 25% of the gross sale price and remit it to CRA on your behalf.

Form T2062 applies to Canadian real estate dispositions including residential and commercial properties. Form T2062A covers other taxable Canadian property including shares of private corporations, partnership interests, and certain other assets.

CRA typically processes applications within 4 to 8 weeks when all documentation is complete and accurate. Incomplete submissions cause delays.

Non-residents require a clearance certificate for all taxable Canadian property sales. Canadian residents selling their principal residence or other property do not need this certificate.

Late filings result in penalties of $25 per day up to a maximum of $2,500. CRA may also delay certificate issuance and your lawyer continues holding sale proceeds until the matter resolves.

Yes, but your lawyer withholds 25% of the gross sale price until CRA receives the funds or issues your certificate. This creates cash flow issues and delays access to your proceeds.

Non-residents selling Canadian property must file Form T2062 with CRA within 10 days of the sale closing date. Our Toronto accountants prepare the application, calculate estimated capital gains, attach supporting documentation, and submit to CRA on your behalf. We track your application and communicate directly with CRA until your certificate is issued.

Without a Certificate of Compliance, the buyer’s lawyer must withhold 25% of the gross sale price and remit it to CRA. This creates significant cash flow issues and delays access to your sale proceeds. Our Toronto team ensures timely T2062 filing to prevent fund holdbacks and release your money at closing.
