So here is a strategic thought.
Your arrival date matters more than you think.
If you leave your home country on December 28 and receive a large payment on December 31, let's say a bonus, you might be creating a tax headache for yourself.
But if you arrive in Canada on January 1st, instead, it's a different story.
Same life, different timing, very different paperwork.
To figure out your tax residency status, you'll want to consult your new best friends, the CRA or Canada Revenue Agency, and the tax authorities in your home country.
Search for something like determining your residency status on the CRA website and check your home country's tax authority as well.
Why?
Because your situation is unique.
Your residency status and the exact date it starts can vary depending on your personal circumstances.
And yes, unfortunately, this is one of those moments where it depends is the real answer.
All right, you have figured out your tax residency and you have landed a job in Canada.
Congratulations!
Now, how do taxes actually work?
In Canada, income tax is deducted at source.
That means your employer automatically withholds tax from each paycheck.
But they don't just pick a number randomly.
When you start your job, you'll be asked to fill out a form, most likely the TD-1.
Based on your answers and your salary, your employer calculates how much tax to withhold.
And I know when you're moving countries, dealing with paperwork, finding a place to live, etc., completing this form might feel like just another thing to rush through.
