Hello sir,
I and my wife became Canadian permanent resident this year. My wife just got a Postdoctoral research position in France for 2 years so she will be going with the children and I will be going back and forth. I think Canada has a tax treaty with France. We already confirmed she will be taxed in France, Will she be taxed in Canada as well or what would you advice?
If she moves to France with her children, and (a) she does not maintain a home in Canada, and (b) you, her husband, are not residing in Canada, then she will be treated as a non-resident of Canada for tax purposes. This means that her French income will not be taxable in Canada.
