Once a Canadian, always a Canadian. Just apply for a new Canadian passport while you're there in the US, if your old one is expired that is. http://www.ppt.gc.ca/cdn/form.aspx?lang=eng&region=USA

It'll take a few months, depending which province you move to, to get your provincial healthcare card, so you might want to purchase interim health insurance.

Well, you can write a return address on the back, legally, they must reply, I personally haven't ever done that but i think it would work

You can, but bear in mind as a US citizen you must continue to file a 1040 return every year with the IRS. If you move your tax home to Canada you must also file a 2555-EZ or a 2555 every year too.

Personally I wish they'd just get it over and have a televised death match between Glenn Beck and Chris Matthews.

Glenn Beck is a bit of a nutter.

Actually I've got a better one, Nancy Grace against Rachel Maddow. She even has the right name.

I'm afraid whenever I see Rush Limbaugh I always think of Boss Hogg out of The Dukes of Hazzard.

It never ceases to amaze me when I turn on the radio when I'm in the US how many morons there are on the airwaves running their mouths non-stop.

They should have an industry gala called: "The Blowhard Awards" or something like that. One of the categories would be: "Most Successful at Polarizing America."

I love Glenn beck the way he cries on TV. A while back he was trying to convince US Citizen that Nato troops are now in US and being helped by UN. He said and i quote i don't have the proof right now but i will say it anyways.

Its so easy now a days to scare people and i think some people are doing a good job in scaring people.
I always hear this notion that foreigners are stealing US jobs, i think in the past 8 months US has lost around 5 million jobs not due to foreigner but due to greedy insurance, bank and credit card companies.

Its not only the story of US, i think this entire world is getting greedy the rich need more and the poor are just trying to survive, middle class like us are being eroded and scared on a regular basis on how foreigners are taking away all the good job.

The best dig at Glenn Beck was on The Daily Show the other day when he was quoted knocking Obama's healthcare plan and how much better private insurance was, blah blah, then Jon Stewart dug up a pile of video of him saying how crap he thought the US healthcare system is.

I wish I could go there to Canada sometime. My mom usually been there seven years ago since I was in high school for her departmental program with her colleagues in the government. Maybe I'm not just going there to find jobs, but also to have some fun experiencing Canada's culture. :biggrin:

One day, it might happen........ =D>
