Short landing and few more trips afterwards tax residency

[Eksler]

If someone makes short landing in Canada in 2017, spends 2-3 weeks there and then returns to his home country? Next year (2018) that person travels to Canada again 2 or 3 times every time for a week or two. Will he become Canadian tax resident basing on his travels? He will not open bank accounts, no health insurance, no rented apartments, no family, no driving license even no SIN. Just few short trips to have a chat with potential employers and to see the country. The intention is to settle in 2019. In what year the person becomes tax resident?

How about buying a home in Canada?

Nothing was bought or rented. All stays are in hotels/airbnb/friends
