Canada

North America

Canada splits healthcare and much of immigration policy by province, visitors get no provincial healthcare coverage at all, and Quebec's investor program is the only wealth-based residency route in the country. Remote work for a foreign employer is fine on a standard six-month visitor stay, but the 183-day sojourner rule and Regulation 102 employer withholding are the real traps, and a departure tax on unrealised gains defines the exit math.

General information
