Our response:
A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) can be opened by a non-resident of Canada if they are 18 years of age or older and hold a valid SIN. However, any contributions made to the account while a non-resident will be subjected to a 1% tax for each month the contributions stays in the account.
