PeteH Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Hi, Was wondering if Canadians can choose to continue filing their annual income taxes (as a regular tax resident) even if they only spend about one month in Canada each year? Reason being not to trigger the deemed disposition (ie. departure tax) ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hello PeteH, Please check with the CRA. You may be considered a non-resident of Canada if you did not have significant residential ties with Canada and: You lived outside Canada throughout the year (except if you were a deemed resident of Canada) You stayed in Canada for less than 183 days in the tax year. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents/non-residents-canada.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
