For PRs of Canada living and working in the US ---
I am seeing conflicting ideas floating around. The last time I went to CCRA in Brampton, ON I was told by the tax agent that i once I permanently move to Canada, only then I need to pay Canadian taxes.
On my recent visit to Winnipeg, I stopped by CCRA again and asked the agent and she said, if you are a PR, you are considered a Canadian even if you are living outside Canada. You will need to file taxes.
I read through the benefit guide and I wish I had done that in the past and not gone by what the Brampton agent said. I do think I may have file taxes even though I do not have any income from Canada as of yet.
Any thoughts are welcome..
