You might want to check with the International Tax Office about your Canadian tax obligations.

Hello Barbara,

Here are my answers to your questions,

1. As you lived here for a period of 2012 you need to file Income Tax Return for 2012.
2. If your husband wasn't a resident (NOT CITIZEN, Just Resident) of Canada in 2012, you CAN NOT claim him.
3. If you are not resident for TAX purposes (Which I believe you are not), then you DO NOT need to report.

Hope this be helpful. However, I highly recommend you to check the information on their online web site or call their number.

Kind Regards,
