(A)
IT’S a nearby country where most natives speak English and there are 16 major
cultural differences from the United States. 17 the number of Americans choosing to
head north to retire in Canada has remained low—reaching a high of 1,675 in 2008 (for
immigrants older than 49), then dipping to 1,060 in 2011, and 18 again in 2013 to an
estimated 1,565.
Recent changes to immigration law have dimmed Canada’s 19 somewhat,
certainly to wealthy would-be residents, who were once eligible to immigrate if they had a net
worth of $1.6 million and could offer an $800,000 interest-free, five-year loan to the federal
government. That program, which attracted some people with money but little commitment to
Canadian life, was
20 in February, and 50,000 applications are to be returned. But for some Americans,
Canada’s more liberal social and economic policies, including 21 health care from the
government, remain deeply appealing. So, too, is the 22 of a country with spectacular
landscapes and, in some places, more affordable real estate.
