Americans flock to Canada for jobs
Americans flock to Canada because Canada creates jobs and Canadian government takes care of it's citizens - so says a Michigan Republican.

1. Does Canada cover American workers while they are in Canada?
How soon do they offer coverage? Hmm. Sounds like a smart place to work for us apart from the cold weather.

2. If you become a citizen.
IIRC, you will have to pay income taxes in the US and Canada unless you renounce your US citizenship.

5. I'm sure that's modified somewhat so it isn't a true double tax
or it's a bad deal no matter the health care system.

Not quite ready to renounce. Just in case Perry wins I'll continue researching!

3. Health care....
Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 11:03 PM by murphyj87
A foreign national working in Canada qualifies for health care coverage just as a Canadian citizen has in between 60 and 90 days, depending on which province it is. The minimum is 60 days, the maximum is 90 days

6. Another country we could learn from! But no, we always
have the "best" answer. Everybody envies us, right? :grr:
