Non-residents of Canada apply for a temporary tax number (ITN)

Non-Canadian residents apply for an ITN. The application process is simple but time-consuming. Please apply as early as possible to avoid delaying important investments or tax returns.

Whether a non-resident has lived in Canada for more than 183 days or has bought or sold real estate in Canada, they need to register for a Canadian Individual Taxpayer Number (ITN). The application for this tax number is not complicated, but it requires a notarization by a Canadian certified public accountant or lawyer. Moreover, the application can only be made by mail, and the tax bureau takes a relatively long time to process, at least 2-3 months. Therefore, those who need it should do it as soon as possible.
