Your return to Canada does not necesarilyt make him resident for tax purposes, as long as HE does not come to canada regularly to visit you.

Your L2 visa reamins good until his L1.

You weren't able to find work in GA?

Thanks for your reply. I have confirmed that spouse and children living in Canada is considered a significant residential tie as strong as owning property. He would have more residential ties to Canada than USA.

We are not located in GA but smaller city in VA.

Good to hear that L2 remains in tact.

Confirmed with who? This is a treaty matter. CRA rarely gives opinions on treaty matter when you call.

As I have discussed many times on forums.serbinski.com, a spouse in Canada does not necessarily make a one resident, by treaty. Since one would have a home in both the the US and Canada (i'm sure he would not be living out of a suitace), and works in US, the scale tips to the US, IF he spends most of his time in US as well.

It may make little differnce tax wise this year, but if he wants to move any pension money, severance etc, it does. So, don;t be too quick to assume what you hear from CRA as gospel.

He will re-establish Cdn taxation only when he returns to canada to live and work.

By the way, owning property in canada is not a strong residential tie. Having a home in canada is, but his still wouldn't make you resident unless you actually live there and not inm your US home.

Sorry about confusing you with other Alpharetta family.
