Is it risky to file tax return because it may trigger Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to investigate my PRO?
I landed to Canada in 2009 and left in Jan, 2013 without residential ties to Canada.
I have moved back to Canada in April, 2016 after 3 years stay in Hong Kong.
I do not currently meet the Permanent Residency Obligations (PRO) requirement.
I want to file a tax return for 2016 as I have rental income from Hong Kong.
Is it risky?
	
		
			
		
		
	
				
			 
			
			 
			
				
			
		
		
			
	
		
	
		
		
	 
										
										
											
    
	
										
										
											
	
										
									
								 
								
									
								
								
									
    
	
								
							 
						
					 
				
			 
		
	
	
	
					
					
				
	
		
			
		
		
	
	
		
			
		
		
	
					
					
						
	
	
	
	
	
	
			
				
			
		
		
			
				
					
				
				
					
						
							
								
									
          
	
								
								
									
										
											
	
	
	
										
										
											
	
	
	
		
		
			
				
			
			
			
				
					
	
		
			
		
		
	
As a resident in 2016, you will have to file a return no matter what.
	
		
			
		
		
	
				
			 
			
			 
			
				
			
		
		
		
	 
										
										
											
    
	
										
										
											
	
										
									
								 
								
									
								
								
									
    
	
								
							 
						
					 
				
			 
		
	
	
	
					
					
				
	
		
			
		
		
	
	
		
			
		
		
	
					
					
						
	
	
	
	
	
	
			
				
			
		
		
			
				
					
				
				
					
						
							
								
									
          
	
								
								
									
										
											
	
	
	
										
										
											
	
	
	
		
		
			
				
			
			
			
				
					
	
		
			
		
		
	
Filing your tax return has nothing to do with IRCC.
