Hi,
Im a Canadian PR. However I moved out to USA starting from Jan 2016 as I got a job here.
No income for 2016 from Canada. I have already filed my US tax and got the return for 2016. At this moment, I am not sure if I need to file a tax return to Canada. Some said I need to file on my global (US) income. Some said I dont need. Even I called CRA and they say I dont need as I am not residing in Canada. However, I would like to maintain my PR residency and dont know if not filing for a tax in Canada while I' m away will jeopardize my PR renewal later on. Before I moved out of Canada, I had lived there for almost 2 years as PR. So I am a couple of months short to meet the residency requirement for renewal application in 2019.
Anyone with experience/knowledge on this?
Thanks.
