I am a Canadian citizen and my wife is a Canadian permanent resident. We are currently living and working in the China. We have no physical ties to Canada - we don't maintain a residence, no income, no property, no children living in Canada, etc.

I have a 3 part question.

a. Is it possible for me to be a non-resident citizen, will that affect my wife's permanent resident issue.

b. If so, do I need to pay Canadian taxes?

If we were non-resident Canadian citizens, I know we would not pay Canadian taxes, but the issue is confused by the permanent resident issue. Above all else, we don't want my wife to lose her permanent residency.


Thanks in advance.
