Hi guys,
I (SOWP) and spouse (SP) arrived in Canada at the end of December 2023. During that time we had a SIN number, rented a house, no job. I have a few questions as follows:

1. Do we need to file a tax return?
2. What is my residency status? Non-residents or residents
As far as I research, we are non-resident (because we have not established significant residential ties with Canada and have been in Canada for less than 183 days).

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and hope to receive answers from everyone soon.
