Correct, I guess. Based on my old tax practice, it would be a Canadian Resident for tax purposes. Although most Canadian citizens/permanent residents (Canada calls them landed immigrants) would certainly default under that rule (aka a rebuttable presumption based on the customs agent's satisfaction), other citizens could technically fit under that umbrella, though the customs officer would have to have a lot of info typically not gathered at the POE to bring up that assumption.
