| I'm migook, but you should be tax exempt on your Korea income as is the case for migooks making less than like $80,000 per year while living over seas. |

I am not Canadain but my wife is.
If you filed for non-residency than you don't have to pay tax on income from Korea.
If you did not file for non-residency or were not approved then you have to pay. |

If you filed for non-residency and are approved then you don't have to pay tax on income from Korea.

...but thankfully if youre not approved for non-residency then the tax you paid here in korea is credited to your canadian tax and you only have the pay the difference.............can you taste the sarcasm?

| Just to add to the afore mentioned, you can apply for non-residency retroactively. |
