Being a US citizen, I have moved to Canada. I got my Canadian visa a few weeks ago and I am typing this answer from beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.
I moved to Canada because I co-founded a tech startup here with my partner Eve, who is an American citizen who became a Canadian several years ago. Life in BC has many advantages:
- Better health care than most Americans can afford, for a much lower price
- A better business climate for small businesses
- A very high standard of living
- A robust and functional social safety net
- A more stable economy, and particularly a more stable financial sector (the huge sub-prime mortgage meltdown that wiped over a trillion dollars off the US economy’s valuation and required a massive government bailout could not happen here, because of the structure and regulation of the Canadian banking system)
It took more than a year’s worth of work to be able to move to Canada, and I’m still in the process of applying for permanent residency (my current visa expires in three years). But I am glad I’m here.
