30F Canadian Moving to Europe (alien.top)

Im Canadian moving to France for 1 year, Spain for 1 year and Portugal for 1 year. All using the Youth Mobility Visa. From the information Ive gathered, after residing in a European country for over 180 days I will be required to pay taxes. Will I be required to continue paying Nova Scotia taxes (that's where I'm from) as well? Is there a way to lower my Canadian taxes while I'm abroad? I had plans to buy a house and being taxed twice will really cut into my savings.

All advice welcome ! Thanks :)

That's something to ask your provincial gov ('s website) tbh. As far as I know, though, most countries typically have agreements in place to avoid double taxation, with the US being a notorious exception.

The US does have tax agreements (around 70), but they're written in such a way ("Saving Clause") that the US reserves the right to tax its citizens and greencard holders.
