T1135 - Foreign Income Verification Statement

Beginning with the 2015 taxation year and subsequent years, the following changes were made:

A) Individuals who own specified foreign property with a total cost of less than $250,000 throughout the tax year can choose to complete either the simplified reporting method or the detailed reporting method.

B) If the total cost of all specified foreign property held at any time during the tax year amounted to $250,000 or more, you are required to complete the detailed method.

In addition, individuals may file form T1135 via NETFILE for 2015 and subsequent years.

As for professionals, they can use EFILE to electronically file form T1135.

Companies, trusts, and certain partnerships must always paper file the T1135 and submit it separately.
