For individuals considering international relocation to or from Canada or the United States, careful preparation can help address the tax, immigration and wealth implications of establishing residence in a new country. Many important considerations arise before a move takes place, while decisions made early can have significant long-term consequences for individuals, families and their assets.

Join Jack Bernstein of Aird & Berlis, Canadian country contributor and editor of the new Wolters Kluwer book, International Relocation and Tax Planning for High-Net-Worth Individuals: A Legal and Lifestyle Guide for Clients and Their Advisors, and Seth Entin of Greenberg Traurig, the book’s U.S. country contributor, for a practical discussion on the key tax, immigration and wealth planning considerations for families seeking an international relocation. Agnes Cha Rudinsky of Greenberg Traurig will provide additional expertise on the immigration process.

Topics include:

  • Canadian departure tax and tax residency considerations for residents exiting Canada
  • Tax planning considerations for those moving to Canada
  • U.S. immigration pathways and pre-immigration tax planning
  • Trust, private corporation and other cross-border structuring and compliance considerations
  • U.S. estate and gift tax, Canadian tax and broader wealth planning considerations
  • Cross-border succession and wealth transfer strategies

Our panellists will provide practical guidance on the legal, tax and planning considerations that should be addressed before establishing residence in a new country. Whether you are advising internationally mobile clients or considering a move to the United States or Canada yourself, this webinar will provide insight into planning opportunities and potential pitfalls that can have significant long-term consequences.
