Hi all,

2. Obtained the following in April 2012:
a. Learners Driver's License
b. SIN Cards
c. PR Cards
d. Ontario Health Cards
e. Bank accounts with TD Bank (Inactive, no transactions since opening)
3. Returned back to Middle East after completing Landing and above formalities in May 2012.
4. I do not own house or any residence in Canada.
5. I do not have any source of income in Canada.
6. I do not have any relative in Canada.
7. We intend to move permanently in June 2013.

Many thanks.

It appears you were not a tax resident for 2012. If you are returning to Canada in June 2013, you might be required to report your world-wide income. Read the following for details:
