If you arrived at the end of December 2021 you were not a tax resident In 2021. Why did you file taxes for 2021?

Okay So for the year 2021 my residential status would be non resident. And other mistake which I made is While filing the Income tax return of 2022:
- I again choose the residential status as Yes and date of entry as 2022/11/29.
- What would be the date of residence which I have to mention in the return.

You were not supposed to file at all in 2021 since you arrived Dec 29th. Unless if you had income in Canada
