Guide to tax returns for new immigrants in Canada

If you have just immigrated to Canada and still have no income, or the income is lower than the government subsidy, the government also encourages you to file tax returns, because any Canadian resident must apply for a refund of federal sales tax and provincial sales tax, and those who have no income may get a GST refund. In particular, new immigrants must file tax returns, even if they have little or no income. Because buying a house, spending money, having children, etc. can be refunded. And the tax bill returned by the government is an important text for your residence record, applying for children's milk money and domestic relatives' guarantee.

In addition, families applying for child welfare and supplementary funds, also known as milk money, should also file tax returns, because the government determines the amount of milk money for the next year according to your tax payment this year.

The tax return can also be used to deduct the tuition fees you paid for studying in Canada from your normal income next year. The tax return of that year is also the necessary supporting document for your application.

There are three main ways to pay taxes in Canada: online declaration, telephone declaration and mail declaration. Telephone declaration and online declaration are convenient and fast, but taxpayers need to have the use code given by the tax bureau

After your first tax return, the tax bureau will send this code to your home every year at 65438+ 10.

Generally speaking, it is not necessary to attach any supporting documents, such as vouchers or receipts, to file tax returns by telephone or online, unless the Inland Revenue Department has special requirements. The Inland Revenue Department usually issues a notice of tax assessment and refund in about two weeks.

Mail tax return is the most primitive way of tax return, that is, the amount of each item is manually filled in the personal tax form used for tax return. There is still room for revision after the form is filled in, which is very suitable for new immigrants with simple tax return items and first-time tax return.

I would like to remind everyone that taxpayers have the responsibility to keep financial and tax information for six years for the Inland Revenue Department to check at any time.

Further reading: Canadian immigrants' physical examination knowledge

Received a medical examination notice from the Immigration Bureau, indicating that your immigration application has basically passed. As long as there are no special circumstances, you can generally get the landing notice about 6 months after the physical examination. If there is a problem with the first physical examination, a second physical examination will be arranged, which will be slightly extended, but it will not be refused directly.

Go to the designated place of the embassy for medical examination within 30 days after receiving the medical examination notice (subject to the time limit mentioned in the medical examination letter). Before the physical examination, everyone calls in advance to make an appointment for the physical examination hospital. Since the medical examination form is issued on a family basis, the main applicant and his children need to undergo a medical examination whether they immigrate together or not.

The last link of physical examination seems insignificant, but it is very important. If something goes wrong in the physical examination stage, all the previous work will fall short.

Generally speaking, the physical examination standards set by the Canadian Immigration Bureau are still very loose. If the applicant's health status falls into one of the following circumstances, your application for immigration will not be accepted:

1, danger to public health or safety;

2. It has brought a serious burden to Canada's health care or social services.

In addition to these two situations, it is also possible to successfully pass the immigration medical examination.

However, this seemingly simple standard has also given many applicants a difficult problem: what disease does the above situation belong to? Who will judge and implement this standard?

First of all, "danger to public health or safety" often refers to highly contagious diseases. The Canadian government is particularly concerned about two diseases:

The first category is tuberculosis, but it only refers to tuberculosis in the infectious period. If there is a history of tuberculosis, the lungs have calcified, no problem;

The second category is sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS and syphilis. However, not all sexually transmitted diseases cannot be immigrated. If it is just an ordinary sexually transmitted disease that can be cured by treatment, it will have no effect on immigrants.

Secondly, "causing a serious burden on Canada's medical health or social services" often refers to some major diseases, such as mental disorders or severe physical disabilities, which may require long-term occupation of medical expenses or nursing resources in the future.

As for some diseases that people often encounter, such as hepatitis B (normal liver function), hypertension, diabetes (drug control), physical disability (no need for treatment), skin diseases and so on. In fact, the impact on immigration application is not great, but immigration applicants need to communicate well with doctors.

Generally speaking, the physical examination items of Canadian immigrants mainly check sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis), AIDS (HIV), kidney disease, tuberculosis and so on.

People over 5 years old need to check their urine.

1.5 years old or older for chest X-ray examination.

1.5 Check syphilis serum for people over 5 years old.

/kloc-people over 0/5 years old need to be tested for HIV./kloc-children under 0/5 years old who have received blood products or whose mothers are HIV-positive also need to be tested for HIV.

The medical examiner appointed by the Immigration Bureau is only responsible for the medical examination, and does not make a conclusion on whether the immigrant applicant meets the immigration standards. The medical examiner's report only gives an objective description; And truthfully declare the physical examination report of the immigrant applicant to the immigration bureau.

Whether the final physical examination of the immigrant applicant is qualified or not shall be completed by the physical examination team of the Immigration Bureau. If the immigration department thinks that the applicant's physical examination needs to be reexamined, they will send a letter to the applicant telling him how to handle it and what to reexamine. For some complicated cases, it may even need to be reviewed several times until the Immigration Bureau makes a decision.

Therefore, it is not important whether the medical examination can pass the medical examination, and the immigration bureau has the final say, but the medical examiner who collects the applicant's information is a very important link in the medical examination.
