Detailing the significant differences between U.S. laws and customs with familiar Canadian ones, this compendium answers important questions such as Can a Canadian qualify for U.S. Medicare at age 65? Is a Canadian will valid in America? and What coverage do provincial health plans provide in the United States?

Good overview of issues but accountant needed, Dec 23 2007
By markas101 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Canadian in America: Real-Life Tax and Financial Insights into Moving and Living in the U.S. (Paperback)
This book give a very good overview of some (all?) of the tax and financial issues facing Canadian in America. However I had hoped it may give some more concrete advice and specifics, and falls short at that point. At any stage that seems to be getting to specifics the authors merely refer the reader to an accountant. While I appreciate they want to protect themselves and that each situation is different they could have provided some slightly more specific examples.

Buy it to give you a start, but don't stop there, Dec 1 2008

This review is from: The Canadian in America: Real-Life Tax and Financial Insights into Moving and Living in the U.S. (Paperback)
I bought this book when it came out, having already read and been been unsatisfied with The Border Guide (by Robert Keats). Immigration to the US can be a trying experience, even for Canadians who are culturally and geographically very close to Americans. The resources to be found on the internet are of varying usefulness and reliability, and so a book like this seems ideal. The problem with this book is in trying to tackle such a complex issue, it mostly fails in providing you with all the answers you need for your specific situation. The other problem is that most of the material in this book is subject to change at any moment, and so after a few years unless a new edition is published, you will have to check all your facts. But at least its a start. And I'm glad to have this book. I wish it had been available before I moved to the US.

Very interesting reading. Should have read it before we left to go on the other side of the border.
