This probably doesn't work in most countries...Canada also requires you to be a resident of SOME country.

  It works in all countries afaik. "you stay in Canada for less than 183 days in the tax year." makes you non-resident.

    Interesting. I can't find the exact literature since the wording is not clear to me but I think you may be correct. Being less than 183 days in Canada and NOT receiving any income in Canada, makes you a non-resident that doesn't have to pay Canadian taxes.

      Yes, this is correct. I'm in this situation (not a 'nomad', but a Canadian expat with no Canadian income) and don't have to pay taxes or file a tax return in Canada.

    I don't know the exact details, but I remember hearing quite a few people here in Ontario talking about coming back once or twice a year to maintain their OHIP health coverage.
