If you are living in Qatar 183 days a year or more, then its better to declare yourself a non resident of Canada....and then you are exempt from taxes in Canada.
Having said that however, the Canadian Gvt MAY contest your status if you own property in Canada that is not leased out to a non relative (what they call am arms length transaction) ergo available for your immediate use. You should also let your drivers license and medical cards (like the Quebec healthcare card) expire...that's the disadvantage.
Hope that helps somewhat.
Stay safe.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
