Dear all,
I am a Turkish citizen and have a 10 year multiple entrance tourist visa. I have entered Canada on 25.August.2015.
I have made an extension application via mail on 2nd of February 2016 to Vegreville before my 6 month duration of stay expired.
I am still waiting respond from CIC regarding my application therefore I am in implied status.
I am working on a freelancer contract to a company located in UK and recieving my payments to my Turkish bank account.
A couple of months ago I got in touch with Canada Revenue Agency. They have informed me that; as I am working for a foreign company and not getting paid by a Canadian company I do not need to file taxes in Canada as a non-resident up to 6 months.
But if I will be staying more than 6 months I need to file tax.
I am very unfamiliar with Canadian tax laws and forms. What kind of a tax should I be filing? Is there a way to do this online?
I am soon planning to leave Canada and return back to my country (Turkey - where my residency is) -even though I don't hear back from CIC as it took long time for them to respond than I wanted to stay anyway- am I still obliged to file tax?
I will be very glad if someone can help me with this issue. Thanks a lot for your responds.
