1. Yes. Doesn’t count for RO.
2. Yes. Submit your Canadian taxes with income.

1. CRA needs to determine if you are a resident for tax purposes even if you live abroad. If you have any ties in Canada like working and receiving your salary in CAD you could still have to pay Canadian taxes like anyone living in Canada.
2. Unless your salary is quite high in INR it may not be advisable you will still have to pay taxes on your worldwide income. You should be speaking to an accountant about how to structure your business, how you get paid, etc.
