Dear all,
I arrive in Canada as a Ontario PNP PR in mid-Dec 2016, and will leave at the beginning of Jan. I will come back in June-Aug, and then leave Canada. I will then return in Dec 2017. I have bank accounts and credit cards in Canada, but I do not have a home, car, driver's license, job, or family members in Canada. I do not have provincial health insurance coverage.
I am working outside Canada, and will continue to do so.
(1) For tax purpose, do I become resident of Canada in mid-Dec 2016? So, if the income that I earn between mid-Dec and 31 Dec is less than personal tax credit for the entire tax year of 2016, do I need to report and pay tax? I do not need to report and pay the tax for the entire year of 2016, right?
(2) For the year of 2017, am I considered non-resident, deemed resident, or factual resident of Canada, for tax purpose?
Your help is much appreciated!
