Well revenue canada told me I can't be a resident if I am not in the country a minimum amount of time...I have to pay for health care myself, I can not be part of any provincial plans. People that backpack are not residents either, as far as I know. Who knows, maybe I've been filling it out wrong all this time but either way I've paid full taxes to them just because I had a regular salaried (not sub-contract) job with a Canadian company and it was just easiest that way. Now it will be different and I'm not sure how to deal with it.
Sly, I am a canadian citizen, I just am a deemed non-resident because I am not in the country enough to be utilizing social services and therefore am not supposed to be taxed as high.
MagicMike, thanks, I'll contact Deloitte to start with and see where I get from there
