Hi,

I was born in Canada, and I have dual citizenship in Canada and the US. My American born wife and I want to move to Canada. I have several questions.

1) What are the tax implications? Do we continue to pay US taxes? Are those deductible from Canadian taxes?

2) I know I can work immediately. What about my wife? What are the steps we need to take so she can work in Canada? And from there, to get her Canadian citizenship.

3) Since I have not been a resident since 1994, do I qualify for health care immediately, or is there a waiting period? Does my wife qualify, or do we have to wait for either a working visa or citizenship?

4) Should we hire an immigration lawyer?

5) What's the process involved in moving our belongings to Canada?

Thanks!
