Hello, my family and I became PRs last year. We plan to move permanently to Canada in late July this year, so I will be physically present in Canada LESS than 183 days.
When filing 2016 returns, will I be considered a tax resident of Canada? Specifically:
1. For 2016, will I be taxed on Canadian income only, or entire global income (including investment income)?
2. Will I be taxed for salary earned outside Canada from Jan to Jul 2016? What about end-of-service benefits, last salary, etc which may be received in my account after I land in Canada?
Appreciate any insights.
