Can I still claim taxes when I am currently living outside the country ?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

  • If you live outside of Canada temporarily, you are likely a factual resident.
  • As a general rule, factual residents have residential ties to Canada, such as homes, businesses, or families, and they usually spend 183 days or more in Canada per year.
  • As a factual resident, you must file an income tax return and report all of your Canadian and world income.
