Great video. If I am currently living with parents, and then rent a place in a new country (ie USA), but use that as my home base for travelling around as a digital nomad, does the treaty still protect me from Canada and make me a tax resident of the US? For example. Nothing rented in Canada, just staying with family, but rent a home in Florida for example. Does that automatically qualify and serve as protection from Canadian tax? How much time do I really need to spend in my rented home? I really hate that its still up for debate and unclear even with a tax treaty
If as canadian citizens my wife and I left Canada but kept a home vacant to come back to once a while, can I assume that we will continue paying taxes as factual residents of Canada? Or do I have to still get a ruling from Canada concerning my residency? Basically is it illegal not to file the NR73 form and keep paying our taxes considering we have a vacant home? We will be staying abroad for 3 or 4 years before we probably come back in the future. Most of our time would be abroad during these years.
