Residency reporting rules between countries for a expat?

[FREE CITIZEN]

For example, say I become a non-resident of Canada and move to a western European country to take up residency for the next year or two, severing my ties with Canada. Then I decide to move to a third country and become a resident for tax purpose. If I did that would the reporting go back to my home country or would the matter be between my second country and my third? Is any information passed onto my home country? Also say I had a pension from Canada that I can take advantage of a double tax treaty with my second country, but the third one does not, does the second country report back to Canada that I have left to a third?

What kind of reporting are you referring to?

Countries don't ordinarily report to each other when someone becomes or ceases to be tax resident.

If you refer to CRS, reporting is based on your stated country of tax residence. In cases of doubt (which are rare), reporting may also be done to country of citizenship or any other jurisdiction you have strong ties to.

It also depends on what you tell the banks in your 2nd country. If they don't know that your circumstances have changed then there wouldn't be any reason for them to report you back to Canada.
