Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. In general, if you are a resident of Canada and have taxable income, you must file a personal tax return by April 30 each year. There are some exceptions and special situations, but the default assumption is that individuals are required to file. The Canada Revenue Agency may send reminders or notices to certain individuals, but receiving a request is not the only reason to file a tax return.
