Consider seeking support for specific items from Deloitte or other advisors if Deloitte is not engaged to provide such advice.

Retain all relevant records

It's important to retain all relevant records for the period you're working in Canada. These generally include:

Travel: Please maintain accurate travel records and supporting documentation such as boarding passes, booking receipts, confirmation emails, etc.

Work abroad: meeting agendas, itineraries, screenshots of emails sent for days spent working outside Canada.

Investments: statements or certificates relating to any investment income for the tax year and details of any taxes withheld or paid.

If you are becoming a Canadian tax resident, obtain records of investments/properties you hold as of the date you become a Canadian tax resident for deemed acquisition purposes.

These records may be required for accurate completion of your Canadian tax return and will be needed if CRA requests them to support your tax return.

You can upload documents to the Global Advantage portal at any time to provide them to Deloitte.
