My question is: Applicable to both US and Canada
QUESTION: My husband is retiring from The USAF and is persuing a job in
Canada. We are both citizens of the United States.
1. Do we remain a citzen of US when we live in Canada or
2. should we become a citizen, knowing that we would return to the US.
3. Also is there a listing for all the tax laws we would encounter while
there?
Thank you for your help, really enjoyed the site was full of helpful
information.
thank you

1. You will always be a US citizen no matter where you are in the world
unless you appear at a consulkar office and fill in a four page form and
formally revoke your US citizenship before a Consular officer.
2. Canadian Citizenship can be a boon to anyone. It would mean that you
could live here, leave for tewn years and then come back at will. Perhaps
to retire under our medical system which I feel is vastly superior to the US
one for 70% of the population.
3. Well, there is the tax act and you can find out all sorts of
information at http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca And, if you go to my own website
at www.centa.com and click on tax guide, there is a whole book that sold
over 300,000 copies ten years ago. Although the tax rates are out of date,
the principles for everything there are still correct.
4. And if you go to www.centa.com and click on US/Canada Tax, you will
find the best explanation of what you have to do and some of the differences
I know of.
Of course, helping people individually is what we do by phone, fax, email,
etc. At present, we look after clients in thirty states and 60 countries.
