Thanks for your response, one more question before I clear the way for OP to sees his own response. My income is zero does the conditional you mention remain trickier after this point reinstated?

I have the following question in regard to tax filling. In case you fill in your tax return while you are not supposed to (no tax resident). Is it wrong? Could there be adverse consequences? The case here is zero income so I would do not mind just send the tax return as it makes zero difference...

The only concern I would have is how soon did your wife leave Canada after getting PR? Why would that be a concern? Or is your point only in respect to the issue: days outside Canada counted toward RO?

I have an additional question in the context of the original post. If I am to develop a software that contains mechanical engineering know how, formulas and also that delivers engineering outputs / parameters then sell the software license to users, would an engineering practice permit be...

Hi, I was outside of Canada for a substantial part of the fiscal year in 2019, at the same time, I had secondary ties with Canada which is something I self determined based on CRA website. So I filled the subject form in order to send it to CRA for them to determine what is my tax residency...

Hello, I am PR currently outside of Canada, also stuck abroad due to COVID19. 2019 I was away from Canada expect a couple of months. I do have ties as bank account and credit card in Canada, I know that in order to define clearly if I am tax resident or not as of 2019, I have to fill some...

I read the depliant document provided. The 3 months period already elapsed. Like I originally stated: I applied in regular manner but did not get my health coverage card sent out to me after the 3 month waiting period. ... I traveled afterward out of Canada for personal reasons and then...

You have to reapply for RAMQ again because you have not met the residency requirements. Its says 183 days is the residency requirement. I am out since 90 days? How come your statement: I did I not meet the residency requirements?

Sorry, what are you saying? I do not understand. here it says: If you are currently unable to return to Québec, please note that your eligibility for Québec health insurance will not at all be called into question. You can remain outside Québec until July 1, 2020 without any impact to your...

Hello I am a PR who applied through express entry system (non Quebec). Landed originally in the English speaking part of Canada. Got my PR card and spend several months in non Quebec provinces. Recently moved to Quebec as I speak French. My original intent was English speaking province, but...

Quoted For those who have done a soft-landing in the past and have been planning to come to Canada in time to comply with the Residency Obligation, let's be frank and open about the situation. As I have described, this year's events will be considered, and almost certainly lead to more...

OK. Well noted. Thanks to both of you for your orientations.

Additional question, if I do use TFSA and it turns out later on that it was not legitimate to take the benefits of TFSA (e.g. me not fulfilling the residency requirement), will I be facing fines or will it just be back payments (so at the end of the day, will be subjected to extra payment at...

torontosm, thanks for your response. In Questrade, I have the option to select "self-directed individual margin", would this be suitable as a general investment account ?

Hi, I just opened an account with QuesTrade as I am interested in buying US stock. In my CRA account, I can see that have an accrued limit for allowed TFSA investment of >10000 CAD. Not sure if I am allowed to use that allowance simply because I was not present in Canada 6 months out of a year...

You have to continue to meet the residency obligation not only in the first year. I got the answer in general, but in Italic above I think that is the bottom line. By residency obligation you mean residency obligation as regards health coverage I suppose. So it can be like 6 months +1 day...

Canuck78, The original point was about PR renewal and Citizenship application, but since your bring an interesting point, let me please ask you some more details: 1 - "Only staying for 6 months once would not qualify you for health coverage ever" I thought that many provinces require (in...

Canuck78, I might be able to stay 6 months out of one year going onward. But otherwise I agree of course. My concern is how likely this movement will complicate PR renewal and citizenship applications? or is it a non-issue?

Hello All, I am PR in Canada (via economic immigration / skilled workers), I have few questions: Due to family reasons, I only stay short stays in Canada and move to country of origin (taking care of elderly). When I am in Canada, I usually rent in Airbnb or some family member rent it out...
