| Subject: Tax Question |
Hi,
I am a landed immigrant. I landed in Canada in October 2005. I plan to move to Canada sometime in August 2006.
DO I need to file a tax return for year 2005 in Canada. I currently live in the US.
Thanks very much for your help!
best regards,

you should consult a tax accountant for a more specific answer, but residence for immigration purposes and residence for tax purposes are two different things. Though residency rules for tax purposes can be complicated, in general you become a resident of Canada for tax purposes when you establish residential ties with Canada. If you land but immediately returned to another country without establishing residential ties in Canada, you are not a resident for tax purposes. Note, if your spouse or common-law partner is a resident of Canada different rules may apply.
