David you sent an email on the Tax Treaty with South Korea do we have the same with Japan .?  Do you have to advise CCRA when you leave Canada to work for a year or 2?

Yes, we do have a Japan/Canada Income Tax Treaty
 
It has disappeared from the site but you can get one mailed to you by going to:
 
You do not have to advise Canada that you are leaving,  However, you should get hold of form NR73 and read it closely.  It does not take much intelligence from reading the form to see that the CCRA will likely make an effort to tax you if you:
 
maintain a Canadian driver's licence
keep your furniture in storage in Canada
leave your car at your mother's or brother's or best friend's place
maintain your Provincial medical plan
etc., etc.,
 
You can find out a lot more by going to www.centa.com and clicking on the US/Canada taxation.
 
Although a different country, Article IV of the US-Canada Treaty is very similar to Article IV of the Canada-Japan Treaty.
 
Read enough of the article to get to Judge Teskey's decision on Dennis Lee.
 
You can download the NR-73 form at:
 
Whatever you do, do NOT send it in to the CCRA.  That just gives rattlesnake hall another name on their list.
 
I do personal counseling on this matter of course.
