Canada — T1, T2, and the CRA correspondence nobody enjoys.
Personal returns, corporate returns, GST/HST, payroll, and the foreign-asset reporting that catches new residents off-guard. We handle it — and we handle the cross-border piece if you also file in India or the US.

A new immigrant who didn’t know about T1135
Foreign assets above CAD 100K cost-base must be reported the year you become resident. We assess prior-year exposure and use VDP only where it’s genuinely warranted.
A CCPC paying the owner
Salary vs dividend mix modelled at federal + provincial, including TOSI rules and integration math — not a generic 60/40 rule of thumb.
An NRI selling Canadian property
Section 116 clearance certificate, withholding on gross proceeds, and the post-closing T2062 to recover what was over-withheld.
A CRA review letter
Replied within deadline, with documents organised and signed off — no panic, no over-disclosure.
A clean Canadian file, even with foreign income.
We’ll review last year’s return on the call, free, and tell you whether anything was missed.
