    I'd like to add that it's actually much harder to immigrate to the USA through either job or education compared to Canada. Depending on your country of origin, getting a US passport might be an extremely lengthy process if not impossible ( getting an H1B visa for work is a lottery).

    Fantastic like always. If you order these 4 for turning into citizenship-based taxation how will be your ordering? which one you think will be the first and which one the last? EU, Canada, UK and Australia.

    • @OffshoreCitizen
      @OffshoreCitizen  3 роки тому +1

      Well Canada has started to talk about it so maybe first and UK last.
      I don't expect we'll see widespread citizenship based taxation it causes too many diplomatic issues and creates conflicts with international treaties. Instead I think they'll go for a global minimum tax.

    Great video! I really like the way you remain logical and objective. I agree with you in that if you have ambitions to start a location dependent business the US has the edge without a doubt. Canada is becoming less and less business friendly by the day IMO. The only thing I thought you could have mentioned was the litigation. The US is more expensive in liability insurance by far.

      Very similar. Canada you pay half of your marginal tax rate. The US it's a fixed rate that works out to similar.
      Tax brackets are higher in the US though

    Good video. Pros and cons like you said. When it comes to healthcare in the US, its fine. If you have a job, they will 99% of the time offer insurance plans that they cover half of the cost. I pay $300 a month for health insurance for myself and my wife. And we dont pay almost anything when we get treated. Canada has public health care but taxes are higher. It kind of makes it similar. The money is just coming from somewhere else.
    No matter what, people allways immigrate to the US. You can make 100 videos about how much greater it is in Canada, people still move here lol. I live in the northeast so i know tons of Canadian expats who live and work here.

    How do they work in terms of exit taxation? I would consider moving to USA or Canada for a few years to set up a Real estate business, but wouldn't want to get hit with a bad exit tax when leaving.

    • @OffshoreCitizen

      Canada is terrible for exit tax. US is a bit better. But Canada you've got 5 years before exit tax applies and US a bit longer and has a minimum threshold.

    "Interestingly Canada is the only passport in the world that doesn't have to go through the visa waiver program if you are going to the US, so everywhere else in the world that has visa free access to the US still has to go through the visa waiver program"
    That's almost true but not really true, the countries that are in the Compact of Free Association (Micronesia, Palau, the Marshall Islands) also don't have to go through the visa waiver program, not just that, their citizens are allowed to live and work in the US indefinitely with a non-immigrant visa
