Canadian Citizenship 101: How To Become a Canadian
Have you thought about becoming a Canadian citizen? There are many benefits of becoming a Canadian citizen, including access to healthcare, global mobility, and the ability to renounce another citizenship that may no longer serve your needs.
Have you ever wondered how much your US citizenship is costing you? Why renouncing could save you hundreds of thousands and open new doors for financial opportunities.
As US expats prepare for another expensive and stressful tax filing season, we’ve compiled a list of items that illustrate a few of the standard costs of their US citizenship while living abroad – in addition to the headaches, stress and sleepless nights that come with it.
The EB-5 Attracts More Investors as USCIS Data Trends Positively
Positive trends in filings and processing indicate increasing interest and trust in the EB-5 program as a viable path to a green card and suggest an improving outlook for its future. As stakeholders and prospective investors await further developments, including an upcoming fee increase, it will be important to continue monitoring these numbers in the upcoming quarters.
Looking to make 2024 your last filing year for US taxes? Here’s what you need to do.
In a recent survey, one in five US expats (20%) is considering or planning to renounce their US citizenship. What’s the main reason? The headaches associated with filing US taxes, the complexities of US tax laws, and owing US tax. So far, in 2023, we have seen a big jump in the number of people going through the official process of renouncing.
Intergenerational Business Transfer Rules are Changing in 2024
Finance’s final legislative proposals have substantially tightened the IBT rules from its Bill-C- 208 counterpart. By introducing a new series of management, control, and active business / active engagement tests, the revamped rules attempt to ensure that the IBT exemption will only apply to transactions in which there is a genuine intergenerational transfer of a business.
Travelling to the US? If you’re a US expat who doesn’t renounce properly, your trip may never get off the ground.
Air travel can be stressful. Rising airfares and hotel costs, flight cancellations, pilot strikes, long security wait lines, and lost luggage are just some of the headaches that travellers face as more and more people head to the US. US expats may want to be extra cautious, especially if they fall into one of two categories.
