Hi! I have doubts about this question when filling in the information for my tax return (NETFILE on Wealthsimple website).
For context, I've worked and lived in Canmore, Alberta for 5 years and never ceased to be a resident for tax purposes, so I always got this payment (single, minimum wage foreign worker).
Last year I got my Permanent Residency and decided to take some time off for traveling and visiting family and friends, planning to return this summer for work and so on (I quit my job but all my stuff is in Canmore and I'm still paying monthly memberships and so on). I worked full-time all of 2022 under the same company.
Unfortunately, my mom passed away and now I'd probably stay longer here, meaning I may not be physically in AB until the end of the year, so I'm confused about the question:
In my head, the first part of the question is Yes but the second part is No(?).
Does anyone have some insight on this?
Thanks a lot.

Normally, I answer YES but since it says "and expect to continue to do so on April 1, 2023?" I don't know if, under my current circumstances, I'm still able to claim it.
