What do I need to know before retiring in Canada?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Canada, they said...
"Plan ahead and make sure you find a place to live BEFORE coming here, there is a major housing shortage in Ottawa as of Aug 23rd 2002..," remarked another expat in Ottawa, Canada.
"It is important for expats to research their options carefully before retiring in Canada. Those who plan to emigrate should make sure they meet the qualifications for Canadian permanent residency and verify that their desired income source is recognized in Canada. Additionally, they should familiarize themselves with the Canadian healthcare system, as well as applicable tax regulations and responsibilities. Additionally, retirees should know the various ways to stay connected to family, friends, and colleagues abroad. Lastly, they should explore the vibrant cultural offerings and travel opportunities available in Canada," said a member in Canada.
