I moved to the US from Canada on a K1 visa on August 16th, was married on September 5th. I'm confused about one part of the Canadian taxes section - Information Relating to Immigrants and to Emigrants- that asks question about my spouse:
Spouse's or common-law partner's net income for the year
The amounts in the Amount column are calculated using the information in the spouse's or common-law partner's return and Form Information Relating to
Immigrants and to Emigrants (Jump Code: IMM EMI). If the spouse or common-law partner has no income for the period(s) described below, the boxes in
column NIL must be selected.
There are then 2 boxes to fill out:
Spouse's or common-law partner's net income for the part of the year that the taxpayer was
a resident of Canada
Spouse's or common-law partner's net income for the part of the year that the taxpayer was
not a resident of Canada
Seeing as I only got married after leaving Canada, and did not officially have a spouse while living in Canada, do I need to fill in amounts for either of these questions or simply indicate NIL?

Hi,
I moved to the US from Canada on a K1 visa on August 16th, was married on September 5th. I'm confused about one part of the Canadian taxes section - Information Relating to Immigrants and to Emigrants- that asks question about my spouse:
Spouse's or common-law partner's net income for the year
The amounts in the Amount column are calculated using the information in the spouse's or common-law partner's return and Form Information Relating to

column NIL must be selected.
There are then 2 boxes to fill out:
Spouse's or common-law partner's net income for the part of the year that the taxpayer was
a resident of Canada
Spouse's or common-law partner's net income for the part of the year that the taxpayer was

Seeing as I only got married after leaving Canada, and did not officially have a spouse while living in Canada, do I need to fill in amounts for either of these questions or simply indicate NIL?
Any advice is most appreciated! Thank you!
