The decisions you make before and after moving to Canada shape your tax position for decades.
Residency timing, foreign asset cost basis, T1135 obligations — these are not routine filings. Bethel Strategic Partners helps internationally connected individuals get them right from the start.
Who we work with
- Newcomers arriving in Canada with foreign assets over CAD $100,000
- Non-residents with Canadian real estate or rental obligations
- Cross-border families splitting time between countries
Where We Focus
High-stakes areas where the cost of getting it wrong is significant
Cross-Border Tax Residency
Getting your residency start date wrong — even by a few months — can trigger retroactive assessments on worldwide income.
Learn moreForeign Asset Disclosure (T1135)
CRA's ability to detect unreported foreign assets grows every year. Penalties for late or missing T1135 filings start at $2,500 per year.
Learn moreNon-Resident Property Sales
Without a clearance certificate, the buyer withholds 25% of gross proceeds — not just the gain. We manage the T2062 process.

Our approach starts with understanding your full picture — residency ties, asset structure, filing history — so we can address gaps before they become assessments.
