Thanks Yafee and Basher!

I was away for a few days due to the death of my family member. I
would try to use the BDS test and will reply. Basher! I have already
tested these variables I know well how to proceed to test for
cointegration. My question is how I can I test if linear or non-linear
modelling applies to data I have. I think Yafee suggestions would work
but let me test it and show you my conclusion.

The case of non-lineariy should be dictated by economic theory. If, for example, unit root is present and the theory behind your economic model is non-linearity, you can then use nonlinear cointegration. The same logic applies for stationary variables. Hope this answers your question.
