Advance planning in order to get non-resident status

Can anyone suggest a cheap tax accountant in the Toronto area?

thanks

By saying "tick the box" I assume you mean the NR73 form from CRA? Don't file this form! Look it over, ditch all of the ties you feel comfortable with (your DL is no good to you, lose it, so is ohip), and file as a departing resident, departure date when you leave (see Emigrants guide), file thereturn next spring. With no property and no dependents in canada, if you keep only a bank account and a memebership, you are probably

Only file NR73 if asked by CRA, some time next year.
