Answer from Evershine RD:

DTA-CTR-02
Question from client:
Under what circumstances do I need to apply for a Certificate of Canada tax residence?

Answer from Evershine RD:
A certificate of residency will be needed to prove that a taxpayer is a resident of Canada and entitled to tax treaty benefits on income earned in their country.
These countries will ask that the taxpayer provide the certificate to their tax administration or the payer of the income.
The certificate of residency helps the foreign tax administration and/or payer to administer exemptions or tax reductions to the foreign tax you pay, based on the terms of the tax treaty.
