Hi there, I have a question for you lovely Canadian nurses who have experienced working in Saudi. My question is focused on the tax free income/Canadian Revenue Agency. Specifically, did you take a LOA from your job in Canada or completely terminate your position. I know you're supposed to make it look like you never intend to return to Canada in order to get the tax-free income...but I was wondering if they really notice if your job is just on hold here (I really don't want to give up my 5 years seniority...I just want to take 1.5 years off and come back to my job in Toronto). Otherwise I have no property or dependents and am fine with closing my bank accounts, cancelling my OHIP, etc. The agency I spoke to made it sound like it would put me at risk of possibly not getting the tax free income but it sounds very wishy-washy. Thanks so much if you know anything about this, or can direct me to someone who has had real experience with this!
