Question
Residency status
I am trying to determine the residency status of my client. They landed in Canada on Sept 15, 2023 with an iecvisa, this means they plan to stay for at least 2 years. As of Dec 31, 2023, they have a SIN, a Canadian bank account and are renting a home, no spouse or children. They have applied to for a Canadian drivers license and applied for medical, still waiting.
The only ties they have left in their home country is a bank account.
I believe they would be an immigrant for the 2023 tax year, would anyone agree? Thanks in advance.
