Im a Canadian PR. However I moved out to USA starting from Jan 2016 as I got a job here.
No income for 2016 from Canada. I have already filed my US tax and got the return for 2016. At this moment, I am not sure if I need to file a tax return to Canada. Some said I need to file on my global (US) income. Some said I dont need. Even I called CRA and they say I dont need as I am not residing in Canada. However, I would like to maintain my PR residency and dont know if not filing for a tax in Canada while I' m away will jeopardize my PR renewal later on. Before I moved out of Canada, I had lived there for almost 2 years as PR. So I am a couple of months short to meet the residency requirement for renewal application in 2019.

If you fully intend to return to Canada in the future, then you should continue filing your taxes here as a deemed/factual resident. Declaring yourself as a non-resident to avoid paying Canadian tax, should only be done when you want to permanently sever ties with Canada and never return.

Regardless if you don't meet the 2-in-5 years RO requirement later on (so basically once you are outside Canada for 3 of 5 years after landing), your PR status can be revoked.
