Non-resident rental income
Canadian compliance support for non-residents receiving rental income from Canadian property, including withholding and Section 216 considerations where applicable.
Selected Canadian tax matters
Cross-border and non-resident tax situations, explained clearly.
Thrive CPA assists with selected Canadian cross-border and non-resident tax matters for individuals, property owners, and incorporated business owners who need help understanding their Canadian filing obligations.
Areas of support
Canadian reporting when your financial life crosses a border.
Cross-border situations can involve overlapping rules, additional forms, withholding requirements, and timing decisions. The first step is identifying the Canadian obligations and whether another specialist should also be involved.
Foreign property
T1135 reporting
Assessment and preparation support for Canadian residents who may have specified foreign property reporting obligations.
Leaving Canada
Departure tax considerations
Canadian tax planning and filing considerations when an individual ceases to be a resident of Canada.
U.S. income
Canadian residents with U.S. income
Canadian reporting and foreign tax credit considerations for Canadian residents who earn income from the United States.
Residency
Residency and filing questions
Review of facts that affect Canadian tax residency and the resulting Canadian filing obligations.
Coordination
Working with other advisers
Coordination with U.S. tax preparers, legal counsel, or other specialists when the matter extends beyond Canadian tax compliance.
Scope note: Thrive CPA provides support for selected Canadian tax matters. The firm does not present itself as a U.S. tax-return preparer or a full-service international tax law practice. The appropriate scope is confirmed after the facts and required filings are reviewed.

Frequently asked
Cross-border tax questions.
Do you prepare U.S. tax returns?
Thrive CPA’s advertised scope is Canadian tax. When a client also requires a U.S. return or U.S. legal advice, the matter may need to be coordinated with a qualified U.S. adviser.
Does every foreign asset need to be reported on Form T1135?
No. The reporting rules depend on the type of property, cost amount, ownership, use, and other facts. A review is required before determining whether the form applies.
Can you help if prior-year foreign reporting was missed?
Potentially. The appropriate response depends on the facts, years involved, available records, and whether a correction or voluntary disclosure should be considered.
Can cross-border work be included with my corporate engagement?
Yes, when the matter is connected to the owner or corporation and falls within the agreed scope. More complex matters may be quoted separately.
