How does tax residency status affect my tax obligations in Canada?

Your tax obligations in Canada depend on your residency status. If you stay in Canada for 183 days or more in a given tax year, you are considered a deemed resident of Canada for tax purposes. On the other hand, if you do not establish significant residential ties with Canada and live outside the country throughout the year or stay in Canada for less than 183 days, you may be considered a non-resident.
