Thanks. That is probably how it works in the general case. However, I did some checks and I think that if I move to a country with which Canada has a tax treaty - that period should be excluded.
I think that the immigration trust is defined in the Income Tax Amendments Act, 2006, Subsection 75(3). The 60 months limit is defined by "... been resident in Canada for a period of, or for periods the total of which is, not more than 60 months...".
Now, section 24 of the INCOME TAX ACT, "Determination of an Individual’s Residence Status" documentation says: "An individual who is otherwise resident in Canada for purposes of the Act, and who, at a given time, is resident in another country for purposes of a tax treaty between Canada and that country, is deemed not to be resident in Canada at that time, ... The individual is treated as a non-resident for all purposes of the Act..."
Therefore, if in 2010 and 2011 I am a resident of another country according the tax treaty - that period should be excluded from the 60 months.
Am I right? If not - What have I missed?
