This would depend on whether you have established significant residential ties with Canada.

Residential ties include:

• a home in Canada
• a spouse or common-law partner or dependants who move to Canada to live with you
• social ties in Canada

Other residential ties that may be relevant include:

• a Canadian driver's licence
• Canadian bank accounts or credit cards
• health insurance with a Canadian province or territory

If you would like an opinion about your residency status, complete and submit Form NR74, Determination of Residency Status (entering Canada) to the CRA. Or call the CRA directly at 1 (800) 959-8281
