Holding US GC working in Canada

[cybermamaca]

I am a Canadian and is a non-resident of Canada. I will work 5.5 months each year in Canada and own a home in US. How do I report my income tax to both US and Canada?

Certainly for your Canadian income. I also wouldn't be surprised if your work in Canada made you a resident, but I am not a tax expert.

There isn't a rule relating to specific amounts of time, though to me it sounds like you are a resident for tax purposes. Check with a Canadian accountant, though. I would.

When I lived part of the year in both places, I filed taxes in both countries.
