Did You Know...
Make Every Day Count Towards your Citizenship
G’day! I’m Jason
Just like you, I am not originally from Canada. I understand that uprooting your life and moving to a new country is incredibly stressful.
It can be even more daunting when your partner or child is overseas, which can change your tax position and the benefits and credits you are eligible to claim.
T4’s and T1’s, RRSP’s and TFSA’s all sound like weird and intimidating jargon that you may not fully understand. Just have a look at one.
Woops! Those are just the rules you need to remember when filing it…
I haven’t mentioned the additional 1000+ worksheets and schedules yet.
However, don’t worry we have figured this all out for you!
You put in so much effort to come here, so make sure that you start your life in Canada on the right foot, get a professional to help you.
Fix My Books has your back. Don’t waste another moment dealing with this, let us file your taxes for you, professionally and on-time.

“I received superb service from Jason. As someone with a non-standard immigration situation (which I believed to be quite unique: having the same U.S. contract before and after immigration with non-stop payments), I had a lot of questions. Jason was extremely helpful in answering all of them, advised me on my tax reporting classification, as well as provided suggestions on how to structure/register my business in the future. His communication is proactive, with same-day responses. The portal is convenient for organizing everything. Thanks to his help, my first tax return in Canada was effortless. Highly recommend!”
