Filing Taxes for 2021

[SHABAM]

Hi all
I landed in Jan 2020 for a week (got sin number, opened bank accounts & passed the G1 driver test) and left Canada and never visited again since then and then the pandemic started .. etc.

Now I plan to move permanently in Sept 2022 and I have some inquires that I would like to know more about:

1- Should I file taxes for 2021? I am not resident in Canada or having any signification ties
2- If I need to file taxes, what about my international income and savings in 2021 - should I report it? or it is ZERO in terms of filing taxes?
3- I plan to wire transfer my savings including the POF to my bank account, which will be a large amount > 50K USD, is there an issue with banks or CRA?
4- Would that fund impact child benefits or any other benefits while looking for a job in Canada?

I will also seek a professional accountant advice but also need to know from your experiences as well.

Thanks
