non resident less than 6 month work permit

[mnako]

Hello,

I came to Canada with working holiday visa in August. As I was staying in Canada less than 183days in tax year, could I file tax return on Ufile? I was working for a company and got a T4.

I didn't know that I was considered as a non resident, so that I already submit a document through the Ufie. Should I cancel the claim?

Thanks,
