Given how much igorance is being expressed about tax in the replies to your video, it is no wonder that so many people get scammed 😂 Not sure that your attempt to educate them had much effect, since half of them did not seem to understand what you were talking about.

That’s an amazing video. So, besides taking almost 50% of your monthly income during your working years… when is time to retire and you realize you can’t survive in Canada then Canada still wants 1/4 of all you have… crazy greedy.

The tax burden in Canada is HUGE. Take a detailed look at ALL the taxes we pay in Canada (at ALL levels). We never have a party running on a platform to REDUCE taxes by increasing efficiencies and reducing costs. Instead, it's all about government spending more, then taxing more. So you work to get taxed on earned income, then more tax due when these savings are invested. Canada = Land of Taxation. Best country on Earth to pay taxes.

@@Tugela60 This is why rich people always move their money abroad because when it is time to go it is time to go. Move the money to a country with lower taxes or no taxes and then you buy all your assets their so one place would be Monaco per say. They don't have income tax and I am sure the capital gains tax there would be minimal if they had one so you buy all your assets there in the other country. All after tax income that is discretionary is moved there immediately after being earned. When you leave you just leave. Don't even bother trying to own anything here, just rent the house and lease the car. Even better if you have parents just stay with them and devote even more money to moving abroad. The other way would be to open a trust and own nothing legally and then you just become a beneficiary of the assets you assign to the trust to own. House, stocks, bonds, rental properties give it all to the trust. If you legally own nothing you have nothing to tax.

So many people posting here seem pretty clueless about tax. The departure tax only applies to capital gains and other monies that have deferred tax, such as RRSPs. It is tax you would have to pay anyway, and since you are closing off your accounts on departure, you pay it then. Every country does this, not just Canada.

Great video Cherry. Lots of useful tips, and information. Quick question however that you mentioned but didn't go into detail on: Foreign owned properties. If you buy your new home before you leave (so you have a place to move to) how can anyone figure out the deemed disposition price? In North America there are real estate databases, but in SE Asia, Latin America and elsewhere there's no such thing, and I doubt even I could figure out what a change of price is with any confidence without actually selling it, which of course wouldn't make sense. So how can the CRA establish Capital Gains amount? Any insight you can share on what CRA's methods are?

Very well done video. If anyone rents in Canada make sure to ask if owner is a Canadian. Many tenants were stuck with taxes for non resident which left Canada on top of rent.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that could be a problem.

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world. There are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions, welfare, unemployment benefits, disability benefits and the numerous other programs, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia. Multiculturalism destroys the fabric and identity of a country. Socialism bankrupts a country.

If we all had a chance to pick what country we live in (most of us are here cause we were born here) no one would ever pick Canada you’d be stupid to do so. There’s so many better options out there. There’s nothing attractive about Canada. Nothing. Not one thing that says “this is why I chose Canada”. Nothing. The taxes we pay aren’t worth it. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze. I can’t see how Canada is going to succeed. I’d never invest in Canadian stocks I think the economy is going to shit. We need a total government revamp. We need a trump. We need a man who’s going to budget and fight for the countries freedom. Liberals just throw money around to losers beggars and they bring in unskilled people who abuse the system. Just other day i saw Indian student on TikTok bragging about how he takes advantage of the food banks for free food. It’s a clown town here in Canada. I don’t think any new leader could ever mop up the mistakes made over the last 8 years of Trudumb.

That can create complications of course, but at a minimum whatever tax you pay in Canada can be deducted from your federal return in the US. So, you might end up paying more state tax and less federal tax than you otherwise might, which should mostly balance out.

What if you liquidate everything you own before deciding to become a non tax resident of Canada. Do you still need to pay a departure tax on the cash you're taking out?

As long as you have paid all the tax due on your previous transactions, no. The departure tax is essentially the same as the taxes due on winding up an estate after someone dies. All assets are deemed disposed of, meaning any tax due on capital gains based on fair market value or closing down an account with deferred tax, such as an RRSP, are due immediately.

I have a couple of questions if you would be kind enough to answer. Are physical gold and silver bullion holdings included in this tax, or are they only covered by capital gains tax? They are not specifically mentioned. Also, I have sent money to my fiancé in the Philippines to purchase property. As a foreigner I'm not allowed to own property. Can this money be taxed? Can they tax cash gifts sent to my fiancé prior to me leaving? I have no problem with this, she is solid. Thank you so much for the information.

Gifts aren't taxable. The money you sent over - technically was already taxed once. Gold and silver are generally long-term capital assets - so if you have a gain, you need to pay capital gain tax upon departure.

@RealEstateTaxTips What about money in my bank checking account? Would that be taxable?

​​​@@RealEstateTaxTipsbut would it make you a tax resident? You mentioned it as secondary tie alongside non-registered accounts but didn't see you go into further detail on the video. I am leaving and would only keep cheching account, credit card, non-registered account and an RRSP. I expect to file the usual taxes on those but as a non resident. 29:32

What if I stay a resident of Canada but live in a foreign county. Do I only pay federal tax then? Do I still get the TFSA yearly contribution room? Can I still claim the credit for eligibale dividends in my income tax? Thank you

You can keep your tax residency - it is an option. You can continue to file your tax returns

You pay capital gains on your rental if you sell it. You don't pay capital gains on your primary residence. So sell your primary residence and move back to the townhouse.

There're many factors involved - just because you move into the rental doesn't mean you don't have to pay tax. It goes back to your particular situation. And what you want to achieve. Best to consult with an accountant to help you with the tax decision.

Just sell everything and move it off shore, then convert it to gold, then move the gold to a numbered account. Then give up citizenship.

Make sure you have a citizenship of another country so that they can deport you to that country because you will need a country to go to. Very important. But if you have dual citizenship, then it will not be a problem.Hope you will be happy to say good bye to Canada for good.

If the second country starts recognizing you as a tax resident, are you automatically loosing tax resident status in Canada?

It has to be this way so majority of people won’t understand it. This way CRA can do whatever they want and the gov can brainwash people and pretend they support them but the truth is it’s it’s nothing compared to the tax they steal from others to feed the other people who came to Canada and not willing to work or contribute to the economy

If you are not a tax resident of Canada, none, outside of any statutory withholding amounts that are associated with some revenue streams. If the country you are living in has a tax treaty with Canada, that amount will be a deduction on any tax due in your new country.

I'm retired and living in Thailand now for over a year. I have no ties at all in Canada. No wife, car nor property. My only bank account in Canada is the one where my pension is deposited. Am I obligated to report any money made in Thailand?
