ajl22586, I am sorry that you don't like living in Canada but I love it up there. I love the weather, the people, the cultures, and the urban environments. I love how orderly and clean it is, while still affording more personal freedom than the U.S. I also refuse to continue contributing to a country with a felony murder rule, absolute prosecutorial immunity, tax dollars spent on concentration camps like Guantanamo, a huge military-industrial complex, a huge disparity in wealth, unlimited corporate spending on campaign ads, the worst of the drug war, the world's highest incarceration rate/prison industrial complex, no universal health care, a highly unequal public education system, unaffordable college/university tuition, a high rate of gun violence, police who disrespect and violate the rights of people with impunity, high property taxes spent on corrupt contracts, no free public skating rinks, decaying urban cores, poorly planned suburban development with no regional oversight, corrupt federal politics, voluminous federal law and regulations that no lawyer let alone layperson can truly understand, incarceration as a penalty for tax violations, mandatory detention for asylum seekers, and countless human rights violations across the world.
I will say that NH is one of the best states in the U.S., and the scenery is wonderful. But my experience was that Ontario is a far better place to live and raise a family.
Remember that moving to Canada and/or even renouncing your citizenship WILL NOT make them forget about you... You'll be double taxed for 10 more years (according to the IRS officials) and / or all your life if you'll choose to keep your U.S. passport. Yep, it's tough. All the best.

Um, not exactly, you have to file with the IRS, but there`s an exemption for taxes already paid to Canada. Since Canada`s taxes are higher, a US citizen paying taxes in Canada basically never has to pay the IRS any taxes as the exemption fully covers them.

Toronto is not clean and it is super expensive. It feels like you are stepping back in time into the 1970's in Toronto.
Most people cannot afford the fancy buildings that they keep putting up. Would prefer the USA for most things.
Colleges can be cheaper only because of the tuition tax credit, but educated people can make more money in the USA since their is more opportunity.
