I have been living in Spain for the 2020 tax year. Do I need to note a change in residency?/How does this affect my taxes?

I have been living off of a monthly stipend from the Spanish government and some monthly donations from family for support. Do I need to state the residency change if I am not receiving income or anything from a job in Canada?

If you are unsure of your residency status, you will need to contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and confirm it with them. If you are in Canada or the United States, you can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. If you are elsewhere you can call 613-940-8495. This page has more ways to contact the CRA: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/contact-information/telephone-numbers.html
