Girlfriend is in a troubled spot

[hamgha]

Why?

She was in Canada for approximately 5 months, then visited France in June. [Not 6 months in Canada]

She returned to Canada in early July, but left again on November 8th. {Again, not 6 months in Canada]

She has now returned, so...what do you need to know?

you are a tax resident when you spend more than 183 days a year in a country. so leaving and entering is resetting her visitor counter according to what scylla said but the tax status is different.

 

[hamgha]

what is the relevance between tax resident and an immigration case ...obviously none ...in this case

maybe

maybe

Im not sure how taxes are relevant. she cant work.

Im not sure how taxes are relevant. she cant work.

You don't need to be working to be a tax resident.
But again this has nothing to do with her immigration status.
