There are so many factors that must be considered that I could lead u way astray answering this question.

I read your blog on regular basis & found it more informative .I have few question about Canadian Non Residency.<br />1.CRA says that you should not leave your dependent in Canada if you are declaring Non Residency. I assume Dependent means children below 18 Years of age. <br />If Children is more than 18 Years of age & studying in Canada ( Assume Living in University Residence ) & being supported financially by Non Resident Parents .<br />Will this point to "significant ties with Canada"?<br />2.If a person who is looking into possibility of moving out of Canada is still a Landed Migrant ( PR Card Holder)-Will he have to surrender his Landed Migrant status on his Day of departure? Or he can let it expire & do not return to Canada. However, as per CIC website , PR surrender is allowed in exceptional circustances only.<br /><br />Thanks for your timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-54530891006491191642011-02-06T07:56:39.401-05:002011-02-06T07:56:39.401-05:00I have not been to Thailand, but my wife has and s...I have not been to Thailand, but my wife has and she loved it. But she would not live there, so you are correct, I am married in Canada. <br /><br />It sounds like you are not married, which makes it far easier to do what you are doing. If you are married, you are in the minority at least for my client base. Notwithstanding whether you are married or not, I am sure many are slightly jealous, saving tons of tax and roaming the world. <br /><br />It would be great if you occasionally update us on how it is going. It will be interesting to see if you tire of this seemingly ideal life and miss Canada and return or whether you find happiness and contentment, while summering in BC to get your Canadian fix, all the while paying substantially less tax. Best of luck on your emigration.The Blunt Bean Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358868550072516313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-45164262799507739572011-02-05T23:42:12.403-05:002011-02-05T23:42:12.403-05:00Obviously, you have never been to Thailand.

Or, you are married in Canada.<br /><br />I sold my small business and converted my assets to cash--not much capital gains tax--am currently in Thailand, will return to Vancouver for the Canadian summer, then off to Argentina before returning to Thailand for the winter.<br /><br />Am looking to move my investments offshore--why pay 46% to the useless government: public sector indexed pensions, pay for quebec/trudeau.<br /><br />I will let you know how it goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-10997388258471779562011-02-03T10:58:35.083-05:002011-02-03T10:58:35.083-05:00Ha, great name.
