Hi Folks- My wife and I have had a home in BC for 4 years.  As of this year, I (a dual Canadian/US citizen) have been living here full time, and my wife has been communting from California until her immigration papers are filed and processed.  We have real estate on both sides, and a stock account on the US side.  Our desire is to end up as Canadian Residents, but we don't want to raise the hackles of either the IRS or Canada Revenue. I am a non-practicing California Atty, and my wife is trained in accounting and certified financial planning.  As you my well know, these impressive qualifications are all but usless in dealing with the issues raised above.  
If there is any way you can help us, please return this email.  We are not afraid of paying reasonable costs for your very valuable service.  
Thank you for any help,
KXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Your situation is the kind of thing we deal with as an everyday situation.
I would be glad to assist you.
Please call (604) 980-0321 to make an appointment or talk to me. If you ae not in Vancouver, I would be pleased conduct a phone consultation.
That is an office number and I encourage my clients to contact me from 10 AM to 10 PM seven days a week. 
My residence number is (604) 980-3578 - my cell number is (604) 657-8451
I would rather nine people phoned me at various times over a weekend than that everyone lined up at 9 AM on Monday Morning.
You will get some good information by going to www.centa.com and reading the October 93 newsletter on Dual Citizens, the Oct 95 newsletter on the tax responsibilities of US citizens living in Canada, the Nov 2001 newsletter on making your mortgage deductible in Canada and the section marked [US/Canada taxation] which you will find on the top left of the first screen.
I charge $350 an hour for the type of information you are looking for.  However, I do not usually send you a bill for a follow up phone call or two if I did not makle it clear in the first place.
