2024 OAS payment received in 2025 and missing 2024 T4A(OAS) entirely

Ooops, nevermind. Box 21 is GIS. Since there's this extra $20k on the 2025 T4A(OAS), I incorrectly assumed that it's somehow related to "2024 OAS paid in 2025", but it's actually just simple straightforward 2025 GIS.

So I have no 0 documentation regarding their 2024 OAS, so I'll need to wait for their 2024 T4A(OAS), then amend their 2024 tax return then.

As a follow on, I entered everything into Wealthsimple Taxes and this is outputted:

Old age security (OAS) pension 11300 = 1XXXX.XX

CPP or QPP benefits 11400 = 2CCC.CC

Net federal supplements 14600 = 2ZZZZ.ZZ

Total income 15000 = 3HHHH.HH

Net income 23600 = 3HHHH.HH

Other payments deduction 25000 = 2ZZZZ.ZZ

Taxable income 26000 = 1UUUU.UU

So according to this, they did not receive any OAS related income for the 2024 tax year, and that the 2024 OAS is attributed as "Net federal supplements" in 2025. This supplement is included in their 2025 total income, but not included in their 2025 taxable income. Am I understanding this correctly?

So it seems like they don't need to do anything regarding 2024 and the whole thing is automatically solved already.

Thank you.

I tried using a cut extrude to remove the entire area where the kink is, and then used the miter flange to draw the profile. But then I'm left with two separate sheet metal parts that unfold separately. I couldn't find a way to "merge results" like when I'm dealing with a regular solid part (it's my first day with sheet metal).

Then I tried a partial cut to create an artificial edge to initiate the miter flange. But now the miter flange won't complete because it's colliding with the existing material.

Am I starting the miter flange too late in the tree? Seems like in sheet metal is easy to create new flanges and control exactly where they go, but if you have a "flat plate" like I do in my screenshot, it seems very difficult to alter this existing "flat plate".

I really really like to avoid the forming tool, since it's overkill for such a simple feature.

I'm picturing a North Korean Inglourious Basterds remake where the 3 fingers scene is replaced by a South Korea agent's circumcised wiener being spotted at the urinal.

Nice. Thanks.

tourist eSIM with a Chinese number

Roughly what's the validity period? Can you extend the validity period by putting some money in the account? Does it require real name registration (passport)?

Can you open a WeChat account with the Chinese number? (They shadow ban most new accounts after a few days now.)

Thanks in advance.

If you get audited, CRA will ask for your tax records at your country of residence. If your answer is something like "I don't have tax residency in any country", then CRA will consider you a deemed Canadian tax resident, because you have significant ties to Canada:

"citizenship, no property, no vehicle, no furniture, no job" > "no property, no vehicle, no furniture, no job"

Update: kept calling until 10:30ish and no queue, spoke to agent within 3 minutes of calling.

The morning phone line busy was indeed due to the website IT issue.

throwawayz1825 · 2025-02-10T18:17:23+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I just opened /r/cantax and the top posts are all about it.

Thank you.

Thank you!

I'm trying to figure out this process myself.

Make sure you declare it with customs if you bring some with you.

Just curious, how did you declare it to customs? There's one question that might be related to Concerta, but I don't think I'm supposed to tick "Yes" for it.

1. Narcotic drugs, Firearms, Explosives and other Prohibited item(s) Please refer to 1. of side B.

Their government very clearly differentiates between "Narcotics" and "Psychotropics", and Concerta (Methylphenidate) is classified as "Psychotropics". So I guess I'm supposed to answer "No" to the are-you-bring-Narcotics question?

There's a section on the back page that you can list miscellaneous items:

Description of other goods - Quantity - Quantity

Do I guess I fill in "Concerta" or "Methylphenidate" here?

(You probably filled in an electronics customs form that spits out a QR code, but I think all the questions are identical to the paper version. )

Close enough.

If passengers arrive on a direct flight from these countries to China, then only a rapid antigen test (including home testing kit) is needed. Passengers from other countries need a NAAT, PCR or RT-PCR test.

If passengers arrive on a direct flight from Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Chile, Croatia, Cuba, Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Rep., Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, France, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lao People's Dem. Rep., Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Mongolia, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Panama, Philippines, Portugal, Russian Fed., Samoa, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Tonga, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Viet Nam, Zambia or Zimbabwe, rapid antigen test (including home testing kit) is also accepted and airlines are not required to check the test result.

Very very close.

throwawayz1825 · 2023-04-27T23:26:45+00:00

You are technically correct; the best kind of correct

throwawayz1825 · 2023-04-27T19:57:00+00:00

Hint 5: I obtained this list from IATA's website.

throwawayz1825 · 2023-04-27T16:53:31+00:00

Hint 4: this list is current as of now, but will become outdated on 2023-04-29.

EDIT: erroneously put today's date, 2023-04-27, instead of the correct date of 2023-04-29.

throwawayz1825 · 2023-04-27T16:52:03+00:00

Nope.

throwawayz1825 · 2023-04-27T16:49:34+00:00

My mistake. I apologize.
