No. Your residency status and whether you have to pay Canadian tax on worldwide income is determined by assessing the strength of residential ties to Canada. In order to be considered a non-resident for tax purposes, you must sever primary ties to Canada:
- Sell or rent your home in Canada
- Spouse must move from Canada
- Children must move from Canada
You should also sever as many secondary ties as possible. Severing secondary ties include selling personal property, closing bank accounts, cancelling heath/insurance plans, cancelling social memberships, etc. Secondary ties are evaluated collectively so holding one or two secondary ties will not deem you to be a resident of Canada.
