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.
