Hello guys,
I studied in US school for 4 years. Right after graduating from US school, I ended up living and working in US for a US company under TN visa for two years. I didn't cut any residential tie with Canada because I intend to return back to Canada next year. Plus I don't own any asset in Canada. So for the past two years, I have been filing my tax for both US and Canada. But CRA never ask me to pay any income tax. I thought Canadian residents are suppose to pay income tax. Did CRA assume that I am non-resident of Canada since I was away from Canada for such a long time? Or Am I suppose to pay back income tax I owned to CRA when I return to Canada? Thank you.
Do I pay CDN tax as a Canadian living and working in US?

Well, you said you filed your taxes in Canada. Did you not calculate tax owing? Us tax is less than Canada so there would at kleast be some tax left over.
In anyt event, you have left Canada, regardless of ties, because you live and work in US, which trumps everything else, by treaty.
