About This Course

Many Canadian seniors choose to move to or spend extended periods in the USA, attracted by its warmer climate and lower costs. However, these decisions come with financial, tax, and legal implications that must be carefully managed.

This course will help advisors understand key considerations for Canadian seniors in the U.S., including:

  • Residency and tax implications (income, estate, and departure taxes)
  • Health care coverage and medical benefits while abroad
  • Social Security and financial planning for cross-border retirees
  • Estate planning and wealth management strategies to minimize tax consequences

Advisors will learn how to guide senior clients in navigating U.S. tax and legal systems, ensuring compliance, and protecting their financial interests.

Key Learning Areas:

  • Residency rules and tax implications (deemed residency, U.S. domicile, estate tax considerations)
  • Protecting Canadian assets (RRSPs, RRIFs, jointly held property, trusts)
  • Medical benefits, long-term care, and health care documentation
  • Financial and estate planning strategies for cross-border retirees

By completing this course, advisors will be better equipped to help seniors manage financial risks, optimize tax planning, and ensure long-term security when spending extended time in the U.S.
