Client out of country due to Covid

Client went to India end of 2019 and he was there all year 2020, still not back due to Covid travel issues and health problems.  How do I file his return and answer Residency question?  Any suggestions?

Sunny81,

 

You have not stated why your client went to India in 2019 and what his intentions were.

 

However it sounds like he was planning a short duration trip.

 

You should refer to this CRA page... https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/information-been-mo...

 

But it sounds like your client should be treated as a resident of Canada and should report his worldwide income on his 2019 and 2020 returns

 

But review that CRA page and if necessary contact the CRA for clarification
