Hello Madan,
I got a TN visa job opportunity in the US so I moved here end of August 2022. I worked for a Canadian company till 2 weeks before leaving. Do I need to report 4 months of US earnings when I file this year Canadian taxes? Also, what are my ways to avoid future taxes? I still have Canadian Drivers license, Bank accounts and TFSA.
If you moved to the US on a permanent basis (TN visas are renewable) and you do not have a house, spouse, or children in Canada, then you became a non-resident of Canada as of the date of your departure from Canada. File a Final Canadian Tax Return (i.e. a departure return) with the CRA. You do not have to pay Canadian income tax on your US earnings.
