Hi. Thank you for this forum. My family has been non resident for more than 15 years. We are now considering sending my son (12 year old) to school in Canada. The rest of the family would not move to Canada. Would this create a tax issue and would I now be deemed resident. We are willing to pay school fees in Canada.
If you are a Canadian citizen or a Canadian permanent resident and you have a dependent child who lives in Canada, then you will be classified as a factual resident of Canada. This will still be the case even if your child is attending a private school in Canada which you pay for. As a factual resident of Canada, you will be taxable on your worldwide income in Canada. Note that you may be able to get tax relief pursuant to a tax treaty that Canada has with your home country.
