Can anyone within the forum advise us if American retirees are permitted to establish long-term residency in Canada? My wife and I are fortunate to own a beautiful parcel of island waterfront in British Columbia. We'd very much like to construct a retirement residence on the property.
Additionally, any contact information concerning American retiree groups or organizations in Canada would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Earl --
I'm researching the same question that you raise here. I haven't been able to get a solid answer yet. I do know that my wife and I would not get enough points to become 'landed immigrents.' Consequently, we are investigating other approaches. I understand Canada did eliminate the 'retiree' category some time ago-- perhaps because of the health care system they have in place.
Currently, I'm trying to find people who have retired in Canada --- other than the fairly wealthy who have several ways to get resident status. I'm also trying to find out the practicalities of living in Canada without being a resident.
I have found a Canadian attorney experienced in these matters who would undertake our 'case' at the rate of $350 per hour for an initial consultation. I'd like to do some more research before spending that kind of money.
I'll be glad to share with you and this forum what I find out. My email address is daveapia@willinet.net

We are also looking to retire to Canada. What, if anything, were you able to determine about retiring???? We have a nice government pension plus investments and are self-sufficient. Just want to live out our lives in relative peace....

Simplify your move to Canada for retirement by using Furnishr.com on your next move. Instead of having to design your new home from scratch let us do it for you. Just choose your favorite room packages from our catalog and leave the rest to us.

Canada is a great place to live. Have you tired to find out information from the Consulate?

IF you look online maybe you can call an immigration office directly or find an email to send your inquiries.
I've been able to just call certain Canadian Federal offices
