Reviews for Your Move to Canada: Navigating the Cross-Border Financial and Tax Aspects of a Move from the U.S.

""This is a fantastic technical book covering all the things to consider before moving from the US to Canada. Cross border is a complex area, this book answers the questions people have and more importantly, the questions they didn't even think to ask but should."" ""As a person that has moved from Canada to the US for professional reasons and is considering a move back to Canada, this book is an incredible resource. I know the issues pretty well but I learned a lot of important new insights. I also want to comment that the authors have done a terrific job of taking pretty dry material and making it very accessible and easy to read - great job.""

It's easy to read and the full of advice that you can act on immediately as well as for long-term planning.""
