Impact of tax residency change on Citizenship application

[greeningbloc]

Hi All - My spouse has citizenship application in progress. For 2023, she is going to file part year tax resident of Canada as she had to leave Canada in SEP '23 for work. Does change in tax residency change impacts immigration status in any way ?

She is going to be back to Canada in SEP '24.

Thanks!

She is still a tax resident in tax year 2023 since she's living in Canada most of the year.

She needs to file tax including non-Canadian income.
For 2024, it depends on her ties in Canada. It's better to check with CRA.

btw it's only an hour since you posted your question....

Thanks ! from tax standpoint, I am talking to CPA and will do whatever is suggested..

My question is more from immigration standpoint, does tax residency change impact any ongoing citizenship application ?

Don't think there is any impact after she has applied.
