Paying taxes while outside of Canada

[kutchiputchi]

After the landing I will have to go back to my home land for a couple of month to finish my current project and then finally return to Canada.
In this period, will I have to pay taxes in Canada for the salary I'll get in my original country?

Yes, you must report it.

But it says:
If you were a resident of Canada in an earlier year, and you are now a non-resident, you will be considered a Canadian resident for income tax purposes when you move back to Canada and re-establish your residential ties

So if I leave the country i'm not considered a resident am I?

So let me get this straight. Immediately upon being granted "permanent resident" a.k.a. "landing", you're going to leave the country, and claim to be a non-resident?? I'm sure you won't get caught anyway . . . Suit yourself!

From what I understand, you become a resident when you land and become a PR. The fact that you are landing and becoming a PR is officially establishing your residential ties. There is a clear explicit documented date (your landing date) that CRA can hone in on so it is harder to play loose with this then say some Canadian who comes back to Canada.

File your taxes for 2015. If the country you're working in has a double tax treaty, you wont have to pay any taxes on your world income.

If it isn't, then you may have to pay taxes on your world income (depending on your situation). But, consider this: It is a small price to pay for privilege to enter Canada on a PR status. I would gladly pay taxes on my world income if it meant I could come back to Canada with my wife this year.
