I took a 4 week vacation to Istanbul back in 2013. There I met a girl (now my wife) from a well off but very conservative family. I came back to Canada with plans to continue our relationship long distance and see where it leads.
Well a few weeks after my return I find out my girlfriend is pregnant. Her parents were not at all accepting of this and she ended up leaving her parents house to go on her own.
I owned a home and had a modest job at the time. I left my job, rented out my house, and flew over to Istanbul. It wasn't easy to let go of everything, but you do what you have to do.
I found a job there that paid me about $1500 / month. I was there almost three years before we were able to come back to Canada together.
I did not file my taxes for 2014-2016 because I thought I don't need to since I was living outside Canada. (I'm still not sure)
Also can I claim UCCB for my son for those three years we weren't in Canada?
I still paid property taxes for those years and have no problem claiming the income I made while living abroad. It wasn't that much, so I doubt I'll pay much in taxes if I had to. But the UCCB definitely will help if I'm entitled to it.
