Residency determination

[tinmark50@gmail.com]

hello,

I moved to the USA in the middle of April last year for work. I do not have a home, or spouse in Canada. Would i be considered a non resident for tax purpose ?

I filed as non resident this year. I missed the departure tax forms. I am working on them now to get them in ASAP. Turbo tax did not support those forms.

I was wondering if i am allowed to keep my TFSA, and non registered account open. Would this affect my residency status ?

Does CRA audit all departure taxes, the tax situation is quite stressful. I have hired a CPA to assist me in this endeavor.

Are there a lot of questions from them typically on departure date to calculate the deemed disposition ?
