Understanding Taxes for Expatriate Canadians
CanDiego Professional Event

As Canadians living in the US, we all know life, death and expatriate taxes are things we can't avoid! That being the case, why not be better prepared for the inevitable as April is going to roll around sooner than you think! CanDiego will be holding a seminar for our members on the expatriate tax process this Fall so you can plan for your 2008 taxes. The following topics will be discussed during the two hour seminar:

  • Canadian and US residency for tax purposes
  • Tax filing requirements for expatriates in California from Canada
  • Tax planning for Canadians in California
  • Ownership of property and investments in Canada as a non-resident and the filing requirements involved
  • Changes to the Canada/US tax treaty
  • Questions and Answer session

Understanding American Healthcare
Professional Event
Tentative - Pending Speakers

Confused about the American healthcare system? Our Canadian provincial health cards just don't have any meaning down here. CanDiego would like to hold a seminar to assist patients in navigating through the finer points of the US healthcare system. We are asking for speakers from the community and the health care field to provide information for us as we all need medical care at some point in our lives. If you have any contacts that may be able to help, please notify teena@candiego.org.
