For the first point, you said "as a student (F status) you are still resident of Canada (regardless of your residential ties)". I feel a little bit confused about it because my 2004 Notice Of Assessment told me “We have disallowed your claim for a provincial tax credit since deemed residents and non-residents of Canada are not eligible for this creditâ€￾ and “We have disallowed your federal and Ontario claims for eligible tuition fees.â€￾ Because of these two sentences, I didn't get any deduction for my tuition on 2004. Does this suggest that I'm a non-resident since August 2004? Do I need to send form NR73 to confirm?
We have nothing in Canada except two RRSP accounts and one bank account. My wife is in F-2 status.
Thanks for help!
