hello everyone,
My dad collects a chinese pension and he is a permanent resident in canada.
He stayed with me from Jan 1 to October 31 this year and the only income he collected was his pension.
He went back to China in November where he lives and is a resident.
The tax softwares I used all ask where he lived December 31st, 2013. Since he is back in China, I went to the CRA website and it seems he is a non-resident because his primary residency is in Beijing and has only been to Canada a couple times. My sister wants to write down British columbia because that is where he lived this year. She doesn't quite understand.
My question is, should I put down non-resident or deemed resident and how does this affect his Permanent resident status at all?
