I left Canada in August 2019 (stayed more than 183 days) and moved to the US permanently, but I maintain residential ties with Canada (a house, credit card, bank accounts). What would be my residency status in Canada for the 2019 tax year?
Thanks!

Re: Residency Status in Canada for the year I left (maintain residential ties)
You are considered a "deemed non-resident, and shpuld file a departure return with August departure date. CRA views becoming a resident of another treaty country (satisfying both IRS and treaty definitions) sufficient to "push" you out of canada, forcing you to file departure taxes, etc.
nelsona non grata. Non pro. Please Search previous posts, no situation is unique as you might think. Happy Browsing
