Treaty-based position on Canadian return

Whenever you take a treaty-based position when filing a U.S. tax return, (on residency for instance), you need to file Form 8833. Is there an equivalent CRA form to be used for taking a treaty-based position on a Canadian return?

No. A statement is sufficient, if needed.
Most 8833's are not needed. For residency as an example, form 1040NR and/or 8440 has the required spaces to explain a treaty position.
