What is the difference between "I was a non-resident of Canada" vs "I was deemed non-resident of Canada"?

Being a non-resident generally means you typically, live in another country, and you are not deemed a resident. Everyone’s situation is unique; therefore, this link from the CRA to gain a better understanding of your residency status. Canadians or primary resident cardholders can be considered deemed non-resident if you are considered a resident of the country in which you live outside of Canada. Due to the tax treaty we have with the country of origin, they are not considered residents of Canada.
