Married an American and wondering how paying Canadian taxes work?

at the end of November, we don't live together and have just started the immigration process for me to live in the US. We share no income and financially live separately. When filing my Canadian taxes, how will this work? Married an American and wondering how paying Canadian taxes work?
There is no difference when filing your Canadian taxes, other than the fact you will state you are married, and will have to give his income on the front page of your return. This does have a bearing on some credits you might otherwise be eligible for (like the GST credit ), but otherwise it doesn't matter.





Be aware that CRA will consider you to still be a Canadian resident (and thus require you to file a Canadian tax return) for some period after you leave the country, depending on what your exact situation is.

On the date you leave Canada, you will be deemed to have disposed of all your assets and reacquire them. This means you will pay Canada capital gains tax on all stocks, property, collectibles, etc.. Only after you have filed with this deemed disposition will you be considered exempt from filing Canadian returns as a non-resident. Good luck!
