Sure. I declared myself a non resident. It is not that difficult. I own a property in Toronto that I rent out and CRA takes 25% of my profit as a non resident. I would rather be a resident for tax purposes considering all the breaks and money I would get from Trudeau, but my accountant advised me after 2 years living in Thailand to start filing as non resident.
CBSA tracks your ins and outs of the country and does report to CRA.
It seems like almost overnight I can not use Grab vouchers for most restaurants anymore. This includes the free delivery vouchers from my grab unlimited subscription. I can not even use point discounts for most restaurants.
Anyone noticed this?
This looks like a non resident account letter that they send every year to account holders who live outside canada. I got the same letter from RBC. They are not sending these to normal resident accounts.
