I am not a tax lawyer and it has been a few years since tax class but I would run it by an accountant as well.
I am (the best kind of) accountant, but you'll have to pay me for the details

But seriously, yes, there are significant tax implications and it is (relatively) difficult to remove your Canadian tax obligation unless you cut all primary and secondary ties in Canada.

If you still maintain a home, a bank account, have a club membership here, or even have a wife or kid in Canada, you will likely still be stuck paying Canadian tax on your worldwide income.
