Refile new clients return but how to change entry date

Tax Topics

I have a new client approach me, they did their own tax filing via wealthsimple which stated they would back $2k, but instead the NOA said client owes $1k.

I’ve reviewed the return and NOA and it looks like CRA removed most of the non-refundable credits. Upon further digging, it looks like client accidently clicked the box for immigrated to Canada in 2025 and when it asks for the date, they specified 12/31.

I don’t think it’s possible to refile any return for immigration date - how would this get corrected?

I have had success writing letters to the international tax office explaining the situation and requesting that they add in or delete out a date of entry or date of departure and fixing the personal tax credits to match what I wanted done.
