The Canadian Income Tax has various foreign reporting forms, not much different from that of the U.S. foreign information returns, with penalties attached for not filing.
With regards to non-resident income areas of concern would be our FAPI rules (similar to the U.S. PFIC AND SUBPART F rules) and the possibility of a non-resident trust becoming or deemed to be resident in Canada for Canadian tax purposes.
