Canadian Permanent Residency Process
Has anyone here recently gone through (or is going through) the process to become a Canadian Permanent Resident?
If so, do you have any advice for someone who is considering becoming a permanent resident? I realize that this is a bit of an odd question, but has becoming a permanent resident been "worth it" to you? Any regrets?
Is there anything that you wish you would have known before you started the process or became a permanent resident?
If you are/were an American, have you experienced any significant tax or investment issues as a result of becoming a permanent resident? Say, having to close out your US-based investment accounts, or dealing with CPP/Social Security, or opening up Canadian investment accounts and reporting them to the IRS?
Thanks.
