Dear Sir ,
I was told that you could advise me regarding permanent relocation of a US citizen to Canada.My sister lived in Victoria for some 45years until she died, about 2 1/2 years ago ,so now my closest relative in Canada is a cousin,also in Victoria BC.
I was thinking of moving to Vancouver in about a year's time.
At present I live at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Alexandria Virginia 22xxx and my phone is 703 xxx-xxxx
.
Any info. you may provide would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
RXXXXXXXXX

>From your question, it would appear that you rintention is to retire to Canda and it is unlikley that you could get landed status to do so. I am 61 and it would be impossible for me to get permission to retire to the US as well.
Canada has many methods of coming as a worker when under 55 but after 55 it is very difficult to get into Canada as an employee and imopossible to get in as a retiree unless you are being sponsored by a child who lives here.
Goto http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/assess/Education.asp and fill in the self-assessment guide. Itg will tell you if you qualify under the present rules. If you assess yourself over 67 points, you do qualify. Email me a copy and we can go from there.
My sister lives in Wheeling, West Virginia by the way.
