Tricky question on ArriveCAN

First time I arrived to Canada on March-31-2024, collected my OWP (3 years). My visa is visitor (I had my visa under CUAET program). My passport stamp indicates that I'm allowed to stay in Canada till March-30-2027.

Less than a month later I returned to the country where I live for last two years. Next February (2025) I'm coming back to Canada.

ArriveCAN has a tricky question which I don't know how to answer correctly (considering my case).

Where do you live? (required)

If this is your first entry to Canada for work or study purposes, enter your foreign residence.
Temporary Residents of Canada with a valid work or study permit must indicate their Canadian residence.
- Canada
- USA
- Other country (list of countries)

My point is that I haven't established residency in Canada on my first visit in March-April and I don't want CRA to consider me a tax resident for 2024.

So, how should I answer an ArriveCAN question? Thanks
