Welcome to Canada
February 3, 2004
Did you know…
If you are a newcomer to Canada, you may be entitled to credit payments such as the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) or the goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit. To receive these credits, you have to report your income from all sources - both inside and outside Canada. Like all Canadians, you have the right and the responsibility to verify your income tax status each year.
If you are a newcomer to Canada, visit www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/individuals/menu-e.html and select "N" from the drop down menu for Newcomer to Canada.
