Support organizing Form NR73 facts and supporting documents before submission.

CRA can provide an opinion through NR73. CanadianExit helps you decide whether NR73 is the right next step and, if it is, submit a more complete, organized factual file.

NR73 can draw review to your file

Submitting NR73 is an affirmative request for CRA to evaluate your residency facts. That can be useful when you need certainty, but it is not always the best first move if your timeline, ties, or evidence are not organized.

Residency is fact-specific

CRA does not decide residency from one checkbox. Dwelling, family, documents, economic ties, return visits, filing history, and treaty issues can all affect the analysis.

FAQ

Is NR73 mandatory?

No. NR73 is used to request CRA’s opinion. Whether to file depends on your facts and risk tolerance.

Why would I review my facts before NR73?

Because filing NR73 asks CRA to review your residency facts. Many people prefer to assess risk and organize evidence first.

Do you guarantee CRA will agree?

No. The service organizes the factual file and supporting documents; CRA makes its own assessment.
