Canadian Citizen and Non Resident for tax purposes

Question

I am a Canadian citizen was a non resident for tax purposes. If I sold stock shares in January 2016 and became officially a Canadian resident again in April 2016 (3 months after selling the stock), would I pay taxes on that capital gain when I file my 2016 taxes in 2017? Or, does the clock only start ticking once I was actually a resident again? Thank you

Answer 1

However, you might have to pay taxes on capital gains if these stocks were acquired during your prior residency.
