Millions of Americans live outside the US. They do not lose their American citizenship and in fact can vote.
As for Canada, if you go for the western provinces, these are the best places for employment. Alberta and BC have low unemployment and Saskatchewan is the next booming provinces. Real estate is slowing down all over Canada and declining in what was once the overheated market of Calgary.
Forget the maritimes for work. Ontario is the province most tied to the US due to manufacturing and is not in good shape and neither is Quebec.
We're not talking about living outside the US because of career or a great job offer, travel, exploration, etc. The OP wants to leave because life is just getting too hard here. I say GO!
Ok, I'll be honest, I did entertain the thought of moving to Malaysia for awhile, living w/my friend. The american dollar goes quite the distance there!
Mom from Quebec with lots of family there. What happens here eventually happens there. If you are thinking of running to Canada because our economy is down, good luck. They are laying off in Canada too and their real estate market has hit a slump.
Geez, Why would you want to move here? Hasn't anybody told you that our heath care sucks, they take more than half your pay in taxes, the cost of living is through the roof and it snows year around, plus all Canadians hate you Americans.....I'm spoofing you, but our economy is tightly hinged to yours so we are just beginning to feel the pain as well.
If your solution is to run away and live your life in another country instead of rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty with the rest of us to fix our country, then please go and leave your American citizenship at the border. We don't need people like you here.
At what point will Americans realize their country is bankrupt?

Ontario is already feeling the pain.. it's those damn Saskatchewans that have all the jobs now eh!
