in Canada to Canadians returning home from years in the U.S. are
astounding and complex. In easy-to-understand language, The American in Canada
focuses on the eight key areas of transition planning: immigration,
customs, cash management, income tax, retirement, estate planning, risk
management, and investments. * Do you have to file tax returns with the IRS? * What income do you have to declare, and in which country? Should you leave your IRAs and 401(k)s in the U.S.? * What immigration avenues are available to help you move into Canada? * Do you qualify for Canada’s socialized healthcare programs? * What should you do with your home or rental property in the U.S.? These questions, and many more, are answered in this essential guide for the American living in Canada.
