As a non-resident, do I need to file a Canadian tax return?

Hi. I am a Canadian citizen living and working in South Korea. I am officially a non-resident of Canada and have received a number of NR4 slips. I have read that sometimes non-residents do not have to file a Canadian tax return, and sometimes they do. 

 

Can anyone please give me an easy-to-understand answer as to how I figure out whether I need to file a Canadian tax return or not? (I know I could call the CRA and ask, but I am really trying to avoid that.)

 

And if I do need to file a tax return, how exactly do I enter my NR4 slips into TurboTax? Can I do it in the free version of TurboTax, or do I have to pay to upgrade?

 

Thanks in advance.
