You're considered a nonresident of Canada for tax purposes if you:
Regularly live in another country
Don't have significant residential ties with Canada and you stayed in Canada for less than 183 days in 2025
If you stayed in Canada for 183 days or more and aren't considered a resident of another country, you may be a deemed resident.
If you're not sure of your status, you can request an opinion from the CRA.
