When preparing for our move, we were lucky to come across “The Border Guide” by Robert Keats. This book was a great starting point in getting us to think about the financial planning and implications to moving across the border – for instance, what do I do with my Canadian RRSPs, can I contribute to the United States 401(k) plans, etc. The content is packed with interesting tidbits and case examples for preliminary planning in both short-term and long-term US-Canadian cross-border moves. An easy read despite the technical nature of the topic.  Keep in mind, however, that a fair portion of the examples is catered towards professionals about to retire, retirees or snowbirds.
