Immigration to Canada must see: how to distinguish Canadian tax residents

"Tax resident" and "non-tax resident" are concepts in tax law. If a person has one of the following circumstances, he or she may be defined as a Canadian tax resident by the Canadian Taxation Bureau:

1? Living in Canada for a long time, such as living in Canada for more than half of a tax year.

2? The main income comes from Canada, such as working and working in Canada.

3? At present, Canada has close relations, such as spouses and children living in Canada, having a house, a car and personal necessities in Canada and so on.

Whether he or she is a tax resident of Canada has nothing to do with whether he or she is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. In other words, a Canadian citizen or permanent resident may be a foreigner who is not a Canadian tax resident but a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, or a Canadian tax resident. Whether you are a Canadian tax resident depends mainly on the above three conditions (maybe my list is not exhaustive).

If you are determined to be a Canadian tax resident, you must declare personal income tax in Canada every year and pay personal income tax according to the Canadian tax law.
