Looking for the latest info:

1 - Do declared non-residents need to re-apply every year?

2 - Do non-residents need to re-apply if they move to another country?

Thanks...

I wouldn't bother re applying every year as it doesn't make sense and why would you want to chance it and have another bureacrat declare you a resident.

Before I left Canada, I went to Canada Immigration and sat down with a person from the office. Basically his answer was we don't have a set policy on non resident status, and it's determined by the individual who assesses your form.

I end out been judged a resident off both countries. I phone up some guy in Ottawa and have a long discussion about how they determined this status. He brought up I had a Canadian passport which was one of many ties. After he mentioned the pasport, I kind of groaned and finally asked what does this mean tax wise. After all the only reason to have non resident status is not to pay outrageous taxes when you don't benefit from the government services. Turns out I pay Korean taxes on the money I make in Korea and Canadian taxes on the money I make in Canada. Sounded fair to me so I haven't bother to check in with them again because who knows what the next person will determine.
