Question:
I am a non-resident of Canada living and working in Canada. However, I became resident of Canada half way through the year (eg. My family moved to Canada, I sold my principal residence in foreign country and bought a primary residence in Canada, etc). What are my tax implications?
Answer:
You will be responsible for filing a non-resident tax return from January 1 – the date in which you became a resident of Canada. In this return, you will only be responsible for paying Canadian tax on income from Canada (e.g. Wages from Canadian employer)
