Financial planning has become a necessity for all individuals and families. US citizens living outside the United States face particularly difficult hurdles. Much of this is the result of the requirement of filing taxes in both Canada and the United States. What one tax system gives, the other taxes. As a result, it is essential that US citizens receive specialized financial, investment, tax (and even life) advice. In general the receipt of US Social Security is NOT dependent on being a US citizen. Hence it is available to all individuals who "paid into the system" without regard to citizenship. It is available to Green Card holders returning home, US citizens living abroad and those who renounced US citizenship.
Raymond James as a "cross border platform" which means that (in general) it can hold US investments in Canada for Canadians.

Social Security And Financial Planning:
Retirement pensions and Social Security are an important part of Financial planning. US Social Security and Canada Pension Plan are significant income sources for a high percentage of North Americans.
Therefore, it is essential that US citizens living in Canada (or anywhere outside the United States) be aware of US Social Security. What are the requirements to be eligible for US Social Security? How does the Social Security totalization agreement between Canada and the United States work? What about spousal benefits? (Did you know that the non-citizen spouse is eligible for Social Security based on marriage to a US citizen?) Survivor benefits? This is an extremely specialized area. Individuals need to be aware of Social Security benefits early!

Objective: Understand how Americans abroad can maximum their US Social Benefits for themselves and for their families.
