Can anyone advise?

We are non-resident for tax purposes, (that has been established). My wife is a Canadian citizen and I am a Brit taking up PR in Canada soon. We intend to do a soft landing then return to the UAE to complete employment contracts before finally 'landing' and taking up permanent residency.
After the soft landing will we be considered resident for tax purposes and become liable for tax on overseas income? Or, does this only kick in once we fully settle and establish our residence in Canada, (become resident for tax purposes)?

Have COPR and will be landing in July 2025. I will not be working in Canada, (retiring).
As a resident in tax return for 2025, will I have to pay tax on earnings outside of Canada in January to June 2025?
