Hi guys
Here is my situation:
I am single (so no family or kids) and became permeant resident in August 2017, stayed in Canada for a month then went back home and worked there between September 2017 and July 2019. So for 2 tax years (2017 and 2018) I was outside Canada and didn't file, but filed my taxes for 2019, 2020, and 2021.
In the citizenship application it asks if I filed between 2017 and 2021, and when I said I didn't for 2017 and 2018 it asked another question for these two years: Required to file? I have done some research and found that I could be what is known as Non-Resident of Canada. which might mean that I wasn't required to file.
Can anybody who knows or has been through a similar situation (where they landed but then left the country immediately for more than a year) tell me if I am right? Or give me more details that might be helpful.
Again my best guess is that I didn't have to file since no ties at the time and no Canadian income, but want reassurance.
Looking forward to some insight
