Short landing tax filing

Hello,

I have a question related to the determination of my tax filing in Canada.

I am living and working in US with work visa, received Canada PR last year through family class since my husband lives in Canada. I landed in Ontario last May, applies SIN and bank account ( debit and credit) but I didn’t apply health benefits card. I returned to US continue my work there and came back and forth between US and Canada, most of my time was in US.
Now the question is, do I need to file tax in Canada for 2019 after my landing ? Other than the bank account with very small amount of money in there without any transaction, my husband lives in Canada, I don’t have any direct financial relation with Canada. I will file tax in US but how do I determine if I need to do the same in Canada?
Thanks for advice.
