I've had no income since returning, and significant tuition credits to use up, so was in no rush.

[quote="adeboloj"]Thank you for your response, then I would assume that these forms are to be filed ONLY when I meet the presence test - in the U.S more than 183 days and i still claim a closer connection to a country that has treaty agreement with United States.

Hi, just to get back to this, so what happens to a stock that I sell let's say 4 months after re-entering Canada and establishing tax residency, but bought 4 years earlier while in the US? When does the IRS collect on the majority of the cap gains the occured let's say while I was in the US?
