Cool...you'll get GST/HST tax credits only once you submit the tax returns. I just started receiving my credits for 2012 returns.

I doubt, as on PR visa there are demerits once you say 'you are non-resident.'

Like you may loose your OHIP - not completing 153 days in first 180 days! If someone would throw more light that would help all new PRs.

PR can be non resident ( not staying for 180 days or more ) and I have seen people claiming refund or tax adjustment

I certainly am not an expert on this subject but to the best of my knowledge you can get the gst/hst tax credit even before filing for your tax returns by filling from RC-151. You do have the option for getting gst/hst credit even on your tax return forms as well. But I wonder why would you go for a non-resident option as that would go totally against your whole idea of immigrating to Canada.
