I don't think the wiki page is accurate. Canada will tax you on income earned outside of Canada if they consider you to be a resident of Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/information-been-moved/determining-your-residency-status.html https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/interna... The most important thing to consider when determining your residency status in Canada for income tax purposes is whether or not you maintain or establish significant residential ties with Canada. Significant residential ties to Canada include: - a home in Canada - a spouse or common-law partner in Canada - dependants in Canada Secondary residential ties that may be relevant include: - personal property in Canada, such as a car or furniture - social ties in Canada, such as memberships in Canadian recreational or religious organizations - economic ties in Canada, such as Canadian bank accounts or credit cards - a Canadian driver's licence - a Canadian passport - health insurance with a Canadian province or territory So if you are a Canadian with a passport, working in Japan for over a year with car at your parents house in Canada. You could count as a Resident of Canada and have to file taxes.
