If a Canadian lives more than 182 days abroad, they are eligible to apply for non-resident status (but they have to let their drivers licence, medicare cards, and stuff like that expire...also they have to have all property in Canada not available for immediate use, ie rented to a non related party)...if they do apply for this status, then they pay taxes in the country they DO reside in (if it happens to be a place like Qatar, where there is no income tax, then they are set).
Hope that helps.
Stay safe.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
