The accounts are empty and didnt deposit anything in them, not now and not before. I am planning on transferring money to them two weeks before moving. Should I cancel it and avoid the hassle The bank told me that if i want to change my address they will let me attest to my tax residency status...

Thank you canuck appreciated, so the bank status doesn't matter? I am really not aware of the legal bindings and even when i searched online and asked the banked i didnt get any useful info. Thry left it hanging everywhere

Hey 21Goose, I phoned up the bank and it seems like my account information says that I am a tax resident of Canada, I am really anxious now does that mean they report it to the CRA or its just information on my profile?

What does that mean uf you dont mind me asking, i am in the same boat too. I dont know if was right not to fill visitor as i was soft landing

Thank you for the reassurance, i was just worried that me not volunteering that iam soft landing and me not mentioning the days of visit will be misrepresentation when i apply for citizenship specially that the systems are all linked.

Thank you 21Goose, appreciated I have another question which is unrelated to the post but related to the soft landing experience, I am sorry for that but its just making me nervous Now I was asked to fill the cbsa declaration card on the plane and in that form I didnt fill the visitor section (...
