I am about to apply for withdrawal of my EPF (Employees Provident Fund) in India , This amount is tax free in India. Any idea if I have to declare this as my income while filing tax returns ? Anyways if I can make it tax free ?
You mean, this will be taxed in Canada? could you elaborate and help us understand how you arrived your decision so that it benefits others in similar dilemma?

Do you (or anyone else) have more details on this? Since it is not technically an income in that year. It was our income during the years it was deposited into account. This is similar to money kept in bank once we leave job.
Keeping money in EPF account after leaving job is not advisable as interest earned after you leave the job is taxable.
