🌍 Non-Resident Property Management with Shelterly.

Managing Canadian Rental Properties

At Shelterly, we simplify the complexity of owning rental property in Canada as a non-resident. From monthly CRA remittances to year-end tax filings, our tailored process ensures compliance, maximizes refunds, and gives you peace of mind—no matter where you live.

🛠 Our Services for Non-Residents

  • CRA Compliance Management

    We manage monthly CRA withholding by calculating the required 25% on gross or net rental income, remitting payments by deadline, and maintaining compliance records, so you avoid penalties and enjoy seamless property ownership abroad.

  • NR6 Filing

    We prepare and submit NR6 elections so landlords remit tax on net rental income instead of gross, improving monthly cash flow. Shelterly coordinates calculations and submissions to ensure accuracy, timely approval, and reduced withholding amounts.

  • Section 216 Tax Returns

    Our accounting partner files Section 216 tax returns annually to reconcile income and expenses. We recover overpayments, maximize refunds, and ensure full compliance with CRA, giving landlords clarity, savings, and peace of mind.

  • ITN Applications

    Non-residents without a Canadian tax number are supported with ITN applications. Shelterly gathers required documents, manages communication with CRA, and ensures timely issuance so rental income reporting and compliance obligations remain seamless.

  • Sale of Property Compliance

    When selling, Shelterly manages CRA’s Certificate of Compliance. We handle T2062 filings, coordinate with purchaser’s lawyer, calculate withholding on net capital gains, and ensure funds are properly released, avoiding costly penalties and delays.

  • Financial Reporting

    We provide monthly financial reporting that includes reconciliations, GST/HST summaries, income statements, and balance sheets. Landlords receive accurate, transparent records that keep them fully informed, confident in compliance, and financially organized year-round.
