Canada is a tax country. I am not a Canadian resident but I have income in Canada. Do I need to file a tax return? Overseas residents or non-Canadian tax residents are obliged to report income to the Canada Revenue Agency when they generate income in Canada. If the conditions are met, you can apply for relevant deductions from the tax agency.

Non-resident tax return

Non-residents can first apply for an Individual Tax Number (ITN)

Or Temporary Tax Number (TTN).
