I did a soft landing in 2016 March and went back to US for work. I never opened any bank accounts, Driving license or signed a lease when I did my soft landing. I just applied and got my SIN in March 2016 during the soft landing.
Now, after 2 years, I finally came back in Oct 2018 and opened an account and signed the lease and also got married on Dec 31. My spouse is also a Canadian PR.
1. As per my understanding, I was non resident for tax purposes for the year 2016 and 2017 and as such never filed any taxes in Canada.I filed my taxes in US where I was working. Am I correct that I didn't had to file taxes in Canada for 2016 and 2017 ?
2. For 2018, I worked in US until Oct and for rest of the year, I was not working in Canada and had no Canadian income. Will I be taxed in Canada on my 2018 US income ? Do I need to declare my US income as part of my Canadian tax return ?
