Filing Canadian Tax Return

Hi,

I am wondering whether someone knows the answer for my question. Is it possible to file a different Canadian tax status with a spouse; e.g. file T1 as a Canadian resident for myself and a non-resident return for a spouse.
Have anyone had ever done that?

Many thanks for any help or advice

Yes, but the person claiming to be non-resident has to (a) be resident in other country, and (B) rarely visit Canada.

Otherwise CRA will consider having spouse and home in Canada, and visiting there a residential tie, and tax you on world income.

I and swer these type of questions at forums.serbinski.com

Thank you for your answer. The link is very helpful.

All work done in canada as an employee is taxable in canada, unless it is less than $10K and there is a treaty with that country.
