I was entering this information in a software package and hence did not read the original form from CRA. Nevertheless, I had read it in the past years and didn't find it clear at that time. Now that I am reading this year's form, they seem to have made some changes. The first category - "Funds ...

T1135 - does a purchase prior to the tax year count?

I tried searching for this information in the forum and am not finding any information, but I am puzzled that no one else is confused as I am :-) I was (and still am) a U.S. citizen, and I also became a Canadian citizen a few years ago.

I am single, but with extended family in Canada and am a dual citizen (U.S./Canada) now. Living in Canada for the last ...
