Tax Obligations if PR Renounced

[newcanuck1234]

Hi people. I have a question about renouncing PR status. What happens to my tax status if I renounce my PR status and go back to my home country and my wife and child remain in Canada pending their citizenship. For all purposes, I will be a foreign national but will the significant residential ties clause apply to me also? I am not from a visa exempt country so I will not have unfettered access to Canada anyway.

Thanks

Your tax obligation as a resident for tax purposes is not affected because your wife and child remain in Canada.
