"My husband Steve and I had a great video conversation with Paul Kurucz when we moved back to Canada from Hong Kong and he graciously replied to our follow up emails as we now prepare to move to Vietnam. His answers were clear, comprehensive, and eye opening. He helped us navigate the murky waters of repatriation: tax implications, owning property, selling property, filing taxes, becoming residents and subsequently non-residents again, and more! We have been so impressed with the expert guidance Paul has given us. If you are an expat with questions about moving to or from Canada, we could not recommend him more highly!"

- Cait and Steve, April 2024

"It was nice meeting you virtually. Just wanted to send my big thanks for your factual and emotional support - wonderful!"

- M. Asana, April 2024

"I just wanted to let you know that our return was smooth and all went according to plan. Thank you for your help, much appreciated! I've already recommended your services to another Canadian ex-colleague of mine who plans to leave UAE next year."

- Jason L., February 2024

"Once again, you have been extremely helpful. We greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you so much! We have and will continue to recommend you to our Canadian expat friends."

- C. Redmond, February 2024

"Paul has been wonderful with advice and so knowledgeable in answering our questions regarding moving back to Canada from the U.S. Thank you Paul for your wonderful website and excellent Zoom appointments. We'd be flying blind without the valuable information you provide."

- C. Pellatt, December 2023

Feedback on the website: "I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this website. My jaw is on the floor, I was going in circular or dead-end website journeys on the Canadian government website, at a loss about what I had to do upon my return to Canada (and I grew up with the internet..). Maybe they can hire you?"

- E. Chen, November 2023

Paul's note: Thank you for the feedback on the website Ms. Chen! I appreciate the employment suggestion but governments are set up in a "process" where employees are normally put in a tightly structured job description. My goal is support the full person - you, the expatriate Canadian who has a wide range of personal considerations, planning needs, and questions. I cover it all: from moving investments and savings to deciding where to move back to in Canada to creating a bridge to the Canadian health care system...and much more.

"I've been composing this email in my head since we landed in Ottawa last March. The main reason that I want to reach out to you is to say a big THANK YOU. The information on your website, as well as the personal support you were able to offer us as we navigated the process of moving back to Canada was invaluable. We would not have known where to begin but finding your website 5 years ago helped get us organized as we got familiar with the process."

"Thanks again for your help, and all the great resources you provide. It was a huge help."

- G. Ritchie

"As a consultant, Paul Kurucz has helped us over the past three years in securing my wife’s Permanent Residency status in Canada. He is very professional, and most importantly, a caring and thoughtful individual. He always took the time to carefully answer our endless questions, and encourage us during the lengthy, and at times, frustrating PR application process. During this time of COVID, our plans were constantly being interrupted. There were issues with communications with the IRCC, other challenges in my returning to Canada after a lengthy absence, and applying for PR for my wife. Through it all, Paul was always available to calmly reassure us, to offer important information and sound advice. Without reservation, I highly recommend him to you as an very capable and compassionate consultant."

- S. Lowey

"All the instructions from you and your site meant we were hyper-prepared, and the car export and import, plus importing of our goods, the two Americans, and two cats went very smoothly.

Could we have done this without your help? Yes, but it would have been significantly more difficult and we surely would have fallen into many pitfalls that you helped us to avoid. Without a doubt, employing your help was some of the wisest money we have ever spent and it is not even close. My whole family thanks you immensely."

- Joanne C.

"Thank you for the very thorough and detailed reply to my questions as your response and information is very helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to write that all out for me.

"The border crossing was textbook, in large part thanks to you and your website. The border guards in Victoria gave our paperwork an A+, and were mightily impressed with our thoroughness. We also stood around chatting merrily with them for about a half hour while they filled out their share of paperwork."

- Paul G.

"Thank you for your help and I am just so happy that someone like you exists. I was lost but hopefully I have found my way."

- A happy client

"Your materials, answers to questions, and support were instrumental in making our move across the border smooth and uneventful. The CBSA agent was pleased with our paperwork and even joked around with us! We spent less than a hour at the border even though we had a huge moving truck, car and utility trailer. Due to your advice and assistance we had everything in order and it made all the difference. Thank you!"

- Bonnie B.

"Thank you for your help Paul. I am so grateful for our exchange. Having a coach helps tremendously. It gives me the confidence I was looking for."

"Your web site and resources were very worthwhile and your quick responses to all my questions calmed my nerves. It's not an easy thing to pack up 22 years of living and move 1000 miles north. It takes a lot of planning, research, scheduling, packing and asking a LOT of questions.

So, thanks once again Paul. I'm glad I'm back home with my family and am actually looking forward to my first winter in 22 years !!!!!!!!!!"

"Just a note to thank you for your input and advice re our move back to Canada after being away for almost 40 years!!!... We came to [the] CBSA station at Blaine WA and the process was real simple and easy. We had the B-4 paperwork for our household effects to follow plus the two cars and received the stamps. In less than 20 minutes we were on our way to the ferry. Thanks again for all your tips and advice."

- A happy client

"Just to update you - we landed and sailed through customs! So thank you so much for all of your advice. Essentially, given we'd itemised and had printouts of every item, including serial numbers, they were overjoyed. Did not even care that valuations were not included (my husband forgot to print up that version).

No questions were asked of our accommodation, job postings, or otherwise. It was a thoroughly pleasant experience (unlike a number I've had coming through as a non-resident...!).

Hopefully we shouldn't have any further queries, but regardless, this is to say thank you for everything. Your advisory has been so incredibly helpful and saved us considerable time and removed room for error."

- A happy client

Thank you for your advice. We had everything in order, including our B4 and shipping forms. It was a breeze to go through customs at the airport and then at the Harbour office."

I love these emails and want to earn one from you!
