Hi Everyone,
One of my client was on visitor status in Canada in 2023 and 2024 and got work permit in July 2025. Never left Canada in these years.
Do I need to file their 2023 & 2024 tax returns or not?
Thank you
If they hired you to file the returns, and you agreed to do it, then I would say yes, you have an obligation to fulfill your contract. As to whether or not those individuals are required to file a Canadian tax return, that is a different story, and you have not provided enough details to determine.
Do visitor status has got a SIN, and the answer is inferred, you shouldnt.
