File taxes for sponsored PR parents

[dbss]

Do we need to file taxes for sponsored PR parents irrespective of them being residents or non-residents?

If yes, how does it work in terms of filing i.e. separate forms etc.?

My friend's mother came in October last year and going to go back in some time and not come back until next year.

Would she need to file taxes for her last year and for this year next year? She has a job in her home country and makes less than $10k annually.

Thanks.

1. Assuming she didn't work in Canada, she has no Canadian source of income, and is not a permanent resident, then she isn't required to file a Canadian tax return.
