Before you begin
Is this a tax-residency decision or an NR73 submission?
No. This is a preparation tool. It does not establish your residency, calculate your final tax or submit a form to the CRA. Read the NR73 guide to understand that separate process.
Can I start without an email address?
Yes. An account is optional. Open the planner, work through your information and choose how to keep a copy when you are ready.
Where do I find the official rules?
Start with the CRA’s leaving Canada guidance. Our resource library links to official sources for the individual topics.
