Anybody knows about this? I am wondering if I went back to my home country to work, I dont have any significant tie with Canada, only secondary residential ties (Canadian passport and Canadian bank accounts), do I have to pay attention to any tax if I choose to go back to my home country to work?

You must declare yourself as non-resident to CRA
if you want that your income in your birth country not be taxable by CRA.
Remember that you are a Canadian citizen now and you have to pay attention to their tax system.

Also we are lucky that CRA offers the Non-resident option to Canadians.
US citizens don't get that Non-resident option; No matter where they live in the world, their
world income is taxed by IRS in the US.
