Hi, I obtained Canadian citizenship 30+ years ago, had a Canadian passport (now expired).
I was offered a job by a US company, and moved to USA in 1988; I then obtained USA citizenship a few years later.
Now I would like to move back to Canada for retirement.
I like to find out what do I need to do? and are there any legal issues?
Can I just go back, buy a house, move in, and stay forever?
Do I need to inform the Canadian government about moving back? if so, how to do it and where to go to?
Do I need to do anything at the border crossing? (I plan to drive back to Canada)
I didn't have any financial ties in Canada all these years while I am in USA, so I shouldn't worry about paying Canadian taxes when I go back, correct?
I read something about "10 year ban", what is it?
will I be banned from moving back to Canada? or will I be banned from entering USA after I moved back to Canada?
will I not be able to freely travel between USA and Canada anymore (after I moved back to Canada)?
will USA take away my US citizenship?
any information would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
James
