Step 1 – Request of a Certificate of Compliance
The Income Tax Act requires non-resident owners to notify the CRA within 10 days of disposing of real property situated in Canada “(the “Notification”)[3]. The Notification can be made by sending a request for a certificate of compliance to the CRA wherein the capital gain and/or recapture on the sale of the property and the corresponding withholding tax are calculated. The request is generally made on the following forms:
- Form T2062 “Request by a Non-Resident of Canada for a Certificate of Compliance Related to the Disposition of Taxable Canadian Property”.
- Form T2062A “Request by a Non-resident of Canada for a Certificate of Compliance Related to the Disposition of Canadian Resource or Timber Resource Property, Canadian Real Property (Other Than Capital Property), or Depreciable Taxable Canadian Property”.
An Individual Tax Number (ITN) is required when making the Notification. A non-resident owner may obtain an ITN by filing Form T1261 “Application for a Canada Revenue Agency Individual Tax Number (ITN) for Non-Residents”.

First-time Home buyers Tax Credit
First-time homebuyers will now be able to claim a personal amount of $5,000 in respect to the purchase of a qualifying home. The tax savings generated due to the HBTC have been converted into a non-refundable tax credit, resulting in tax savings of $750 (calculated as $5,000 x 15%).
A "qualifying home" and a "first-time home buyer" will have the same definitions as for the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan purposes.
The credit will also be available to taxpayers who are eligible for the disability tax credit if the home is acquired to enable the taxpayer to live in a more accessible dwelling or in an environment better suited to his or her personal needs and care.
Childcare Expenses
If you require childcare to work or attend school, you may be able to claim some money back on you tax retun.
You or your spouse or common-law partner may have paid for someone to care for your child, so one of you could earn income, go to school, or conduct research. You can claim the childcare expenses if the child was under 16 or had a mental or physical impairment.
The general rule is that only the spouse or common-law partner with the lower net income – even if it is zero – can claim such expenses.
Childcare expenses include fees paid for:
- baby-sitting
- nursery schools
- day-care centres
And with some exceptions, you may also claim certain amounts for:
- day camps or day sports schools
- boarding schools and overnight sports schools and camps
You need to have receipts from your childcare provider to support your claim. There is a limit to the basic amounts that any taxpayer can deduct for child care. This limit is the least of:
- $7,000 for each eligible child who is under seven, plus $4,000 for each eligible child who is either age seven to 16; ($10,000 for each eligible child who qualifies for the disability amount);
- the total amount actually paid for child care in the year; or
- two-thirds of the taxpayer’s earned income for the year.

US Tax
What you need to do
As a U.S. citizen, you must file two returns each year: a Canadian return and a U.S. return. Fortunately, this does not necessarily mean you'll have to pay taxes in both countries, as there are several ways to ensure you're not doubly taxed. The 1040 form is the standard documentation for filing your income tax return to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You may be subject to additional U.S. tax reporting and required to fill out more forms if you own or are a beneficiary of Canadian mutual funds, TFSAs, RESPS, RRSPs or RPPs. You also may have U.S. filing requirements if you meet the Lawful Permanent Resident test or have spent a certain amount of time in the United States.

Judicial review
Objections, appeals, disputes, and relief measures
To apply for judicial review, you must send a completed Form 301, Notice of Application (Federal Court Web site), with the appropriate filing fee to the registrar of the Federal Court. For more information about how to file an application for judicial review or other general enquiries, visit the Federal Court website.
Medical Expenses
Claiming medical expenses, on your tax return, may provide substantial tax savings.
Medical expenses cover a wide range of healthcare related costs such as:
- Pharmaceutical prescriptions
- Eye exams, glasses and/or contact lenses
- Dental and orthodontic work
- Chiropractic costs
- Hearing aids and their replacement batteries
- Massage therapy
- Medical travel insurance
- Medical plan deductibles
The list is extensive so it is worth checking before you throw away receipts that could be valuable.
To claim medical expenses, the total costs must exceed three per cent of your net income and only the portion that exceeds your net income is claimed. Example: if your net income is $30,000, your medical expenses have to exceed $900 ($30,000 x 3%) and you can only claim the expenses over $900.
Taxpayers may claim qualifying medical expenses they paid in the taxation year, or in any period of twelve months ending in the taxation year. Any twelve-month period ending in the year may be selected to determine the most advantageous total for medical expenses. This could mean reporting expenses from June 2008 to May 2009 to give you the largest total to claim.
Even if you have medical or dental insurance that reimburses you for your health costs, you can still the claim the portion of expenses that the insurance plan does not cover. And the premiums you pay for private health insurance, such as the ones deducted directly from your paycheque, can also be included as a medical expense.
