This would depend on whether you have established significant residential ties with Canada.

Residential ties include:

Other residential ties that may be relevant include:

  • a Canadian driver's licence
  • Canadian bank accounts or credit cards
  • health insurance with a Canadian province or territory

If you would like an opinion about your residency status, complete and submit Form NR74, Determination of Residency Status (entering Canada) to the CRA. Or call the CRA directly at 1 (800) 959-8281

 

For more information please see this Canada Revenue Agency article on filing Taxes for International Students:
