I was physically in Canada from 1/1/2021 to 3/12/2021 only. However, I earned employment income from Canadian company till July 2021. Do I qualify as non resident?

If you live partly in Canada and partly in another country, you are considered a non-resident as long as you live in Canada for less than 183 days of the year and have no significant residential ties to the area.

 

• If you spend 182 days in Canada and have few ties to the area, you will likely be considered a non-resident.
• In contrast, if you spend 182 days in Canada but have a spouse, a home, and a car in the country, you may be considered a resident.     

To check your residency status, go to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)  website, Determining your residency status.
