405sqn said:Captloadie is absolutely right - you file taxes as a Factual resident of Canada, normally in the last province you were posted. Therefore your bank accounts, your house (if you kept one), your storage items, etc all add up to "substantial ties" back to that province. If you were on IR prior to posting, this could probably be used to change the equation.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering how this would work in my case though; I don`t plan on storing anything here, have sold my house and my bank account (TD) has never been changed since I got it in ON. I have opened an HSBC Advance account in BC and plan on using it as my pay funnel (with the instant transfer to HSBC Australia.) Would I still be able to claim factual residency in BC due to my account only?
(I'll also give CRA a shout and confirm.)
