Expatriate Income Tax Filing Requirements

My wife is Canadian, I'm American.  We've lived in the USA for many years, and as such there is no question that she is an expatriate.  My question is, even though as an expatriate she has no Canadian income tax liability, does my wife need to file a form every year anyway just to prove that?

Jimmy, 

This can be a tricky question.  Even if your wife has effectively severed all ties to Canada including RRSPs, bank accounts, pension plan, stock options and even driver's license (the list is extensive) she could still be liable for income that she earned immediately before leaving Canada.  Did she file a final tax return?  I would reccomend you make contact with a Canadian tax consultant if you at all concerned.
