Am I considered a non tax resident?

[Tokibaee]

I have pr card, I stay less than 183 days per year in Canada , I don’t own a car or a house in Canada , I have a bank account and a credit card , no relatives or children in Canada. I work in Canada when I’m here. The rest of the year I stay in my home country egypt , where I am a tax resident. Does my circumstances make me a non tax resident in canada? And if yes , does that mean I only pay taxes on my Canadian income, not on my world wide income correct? And I don’t have to declare my foreign property too correct?? Thank you

There is a good chance your're a resident for tax purposes and should be declaring all your worldwide income. Becoming a non-resident means you should have an intention to permanently sever ties to Canada and never return, but by constantly returning and working that doesn't sound like the case.
