Trying to determine my residency for the 2020 Tax year. We moved to Canada on August 15, 2020 so were in Canada for 105 ish days, but we are Canadian Citizens?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

The most important thing to consider when determining your residency status in Canada for income tax purposes is whether or not you maintain, or you establish, residential ties with Canada.

Significant residential ties with Canada include:

• a home in Canada
• a spouse or common-law partner in Canada
• dependants in Canada

Secondary residential ties that may be relevant include:

• personal property in Canada, such as a car or furniture
• social ties in Canada, such as memberships in Canadian recreational or religious organizations
• economic ties in Canada, such as Canadian bank accounts or credit cards
• a Canadian driver's license
• a Canadian passport
• health insurance with a Canadian province or territory

To determine residence status, all of the relevant facts in each case must be considered, including residential ties with Canada and length of time, object, intent, and continuity while living inside and outside Canada.

You can also contact the Canada Revenue Agency for clarification on your residency.
