The American in Canada: Real-Life Tax and Financial Insights into Moving and Living in Canada

The book is laden with good info on the challenges an American moving to Canada might face, especially regarding taxes and citizenship, but its credibilty suffers from lots of jingoistic opinion (Canadians could learn to be more patriotic from Americans, for example) and a lot of ‘our firm specializes in these issues’ quasi-marketing content. While trying to be realistic, the authors simply come off as trying to talk you out of it. I wasn’t that pleased with the book.

This book covers the range of financial complications you may face pre- and post-relocation. Even if your life and move seem simple, there are a number of potential nasty surprises so it’s best to read the book BEFORE you move, if possible. I really appreciate the advice, and also that it’s available for Kindle.

I’ve read 3 books and had 3 advisors I’ve paid for, and this book has between its covers more advice than those 6 sources combined. moving is tricky – more so in a post Sept 11 world – and this book covers all the topics, small and large, that you’ll need to consider. Strongly recommended!
