Answer: The simplest solution would be to contact Revenue Canada and tell them that you are no longer living in Canada. Ask them to send you copies of whatever T-4s and other information slips they have on file for you for 2002, and then use that information to file your taxes. Once the taxes are filed you can then make arrangements to pay them. If you can’t pay them, there is not much they can do, since if you are not in Canada and don’t have any wages, they cannot garnishee your wages.
