Question about US citizens moving to BC -- what are
My partner & I are considering moving from Oregon to BC. We're just in the initial "thinking about it" stage. Right now, we've both retired early (both under 50), and obviously have money in the US Stock Market. One of our concerns when thinking about moving outside the US would deal with taxes and so forth. If we did move to BC, I might go back to work, but maybe not. My partner would prefer to stay retired. We've got enough money to live on in our current situation, but are not sure how that would change if we moved to Canada. What are your rates for discussing things with us? JXXXXXX ------------------------------------------- david ingram replies: I charge Cdn $400 / an hour for phone or in house consultations. Note that there is no provision to move to Canada (or to the US for that matter) for retirement. You have to be a professional or skilled worker, entrepreneur, self-employed (farmers or actor/artists only), business investor, or new spouse of a Canadian (or an American in reverse). Way back when, I had 9 offices in Oregon. Why are you moving from Oregon to BC? Coos Bay with the dunes and ocean and cost of living is a wonderful place for a retired person. -------------------------------------------- Answers to this and other similar questions can be obtained free on Air every Sunday morning.
