If you permanently live abroad and have no residential ties to Canada, you are likely considered a non-resident of Canada.
- As a non-resident, you do not have to report world income to the CRA.
- However, if you earn Canadian income such as pension payments or if you dispose of capital property in Canada, you must file a return to report your Canadian income.
In addition, the last year you live in Canada, you must file a final return. Report your income as usual, but if you claim any benefits or credits, only claim an amount related to the portion of the year you spent in Canada.
