An individual who does not have significant residential ties to Canada and who stays in Canada for less than 183 days in a calendar year is generally considered a non-resident for tax purposes.
Non-residents of Canada are subject to different tax rules than residents, and their tax obligations depend on their Canadian-source income. Non-residents are generally subject to tax on income earned in Canada, such as employment income, business income, and rental income. They may also be subject to tax on capital gains realized from the disposition of certain Canadian properties.
To determine their tax obligations in Canada, non-residents may need to file a Canadian income tax return and report their Canadian-source income. They may also be eligible for certain tax treaty benefits, which can help to reduce their Canadian tax liability. It is important for non-residents to understand their tax obligations in Canada and to seek professional tax advice if necessary.
