hi,
I was looking at the eligibility requirements yesterday and unsure if the following scenario I am in satisfies the ' requirement under the Income Tax Act to file income taxes for four (4) taxation years that are fully...' :
1) Arrived in Canada with a PR on April 25,2012
2) Confirmed via 'physical presence calculator' that I will satisfy the residency requirements on September 9,2016 ( after deducting all vacations outside Canada)
============================================================================================================
3) Four Taxation year(s) however, I am not a 100% sure if my case fulfills since for the 2012 taxation year I was in Canada between April-December.
============================================================================================================
Can anyone advise if my understanding is correct that even though i satisfy the residency requirements(present 183 days/year in the last 4 years), I will not be able to apply until I file my taxes for Year 2016(sometime in 2017).
I've filed taxes for the following taxation years so far:
2012 ( Starting April through December)
2013 ( 12 months)
2014 (12 months)
2015 ( 12 months)
Thank you in advance
