Canadian PR living in USA on H1B with Canadian Citizen Wife

Post by manishtoronto »

Hello,

I am living in USA for 5 years on H1B visa and paying taxes here. Last year in 2009 I became Canadian PR as my wife is a Canadian Citizen.

But we are not living in Canada as my wife is living in Chicago as a Student and I am working here on H1B visa.

We both have no income in Canada but we have bank account, healthcard.

Question 1
Do I need to pay taxes in Canada or I need to file tax return with my wife in Canada.(She is filing Zero Tax Return as she is living in USA as a Student)

Question 2
It is possible to pay only for healthcard tax portion?

Thanks
