Foreign reporting

Ensure you are onside to avoid $2,500 per year potential penalties on late-filing or failing to file a T1135 Foreign Income Verification Statement form.  Foreign company stocks in a non-registered Canadian broker account are specified foreign property and must be reported if their total cost base is over $100,000 in total.  Watch this in both corporate and personal investment portfolios.
