It is a little bit more complex. If you don't change your residency you are still considered a resident and must pay taxes. If you live in a ship and sailed the world last year you still must pay taxes because you are considered a resident.
If you have assets or a wife in Canada they may declare you a resident even after a year.
- grecy 5y agoI'm a Canadian resident, who has spent over 5 years driving around the world, never staying in a single country more than a month or three. All those were just tourist visas, so it would have been illegal for me to live and work there. During all of that, I had to pay income tax in Canada, even though I went >2 years then almost 3 years without setting foot in the country.
