I did a soft landing as a PR in Canada in June 2016 and stayed for a week. I then permanently immigrated in January 2017. I have filed my taxes for 2017 but would like to know if I need to file taxes for 2016? I know that application for Canadian citizenship requires three years of tax returns and I would like to stay on the safe side when applying.
I have prepared a simple return for 2016 with net income and taxable income of $0. Should I also fill out schedule A for worldwide income? I had a job in Singapore in 2016 where I already paid taxes on that income.
