5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" read for US bound Canadians, July 9, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

There are three million Canadian citizens living in the United States (often traveling back and forth across the border), with almost two millions Canadians visiting Florida each years. Many Canadians and Americans incorrectly assume that the laws governing investment, taxation, and immigration are the same in both countries. They are not. And that's why The Border Guide: A Canadian's Guide To Living, Working, And Investing In The United States is such a timely and necessary book recommended to the attention of all Canadians coming into the United States for reasons of work, education, travel, investment, or residence. Thoroughly "user friendly", The Border Guide will help anyone from getting disadvantaged by the fluctuations between Canadian and American currency; quality for old-age and social security benefits on either side of the border; obtain the best that the Canadian and US medical systems have to offer; receive Canadian pensions in the US almost tax free; even how to buy a retirement home and deduct the mortgage interest from Canadian tax returns. All these and so much more make The Border Guide a "must" read for US bound Canadians!

5.0 out of 5 stars Questions answered, October 23, 2005

By	James Schroeder (Beaufort SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a very informitive book that gave us great insight into our situation about our retirement in the US.
With just a quick scan thru this book at the public library we knew it had information that was very valueable to us .
We not only bought one for ourselves but bought a copy for our investment advisor and another for our accountant.
