Hello guys,
I am Canadian Citizen and wife as PR (completed 2 years and 2 months in Canada). I moved down to US in April 2018 along with my wife as i got a job here (on TN Visa). Now my wife still needs to complete her 3 years residency in order to be eligible to apply for citizenship. she is moving back to Canada and she will stay there. I will also move back once my TN status is expired.
Q1 - If I file the tax return as non-resident for 2018(file as jointly maybe?) , will this have any effect on the citizenship application for my wife?
Q2 - and this year 2019 my wife will spend most of the time in Canada, will i have to file Tax return for 2020 as "resident" since my wife is in Canada?
your comments/suggestion are appreciated
Thanks,
