Do Non-Resident Canadians have to

You commented in a recent note that a US citizen must annually file US tax
forms.
I am a Canadian residing in the US.  For the first 3 years, I filed Canadian
and US tax forms, then we officially changed our residence status.  Should
we continue to file Canadian tax forms?
========================================
david ingram replies:
No
US citizens are the only ones required to file forever.
If they have left Canada lock, stock and barrel, Canadians only need to file
if they continue to have rental income or are coming to Canada to work  some
of the time.
Of course, if the CRA writes and asks for a return you also have to.
