« resident alien » in USA and « factual resident of Canada »

[Joanne Boudreault]

Hello everyone

We would like to dive in the real estate investment world somewhere, US or Canada...

My husband and I currently live in the US with visas so we are both resident aliens. My husband is from France with only a French passport. And I was born in Canada and currently a “factual resident of Canada” since I still own my home there.

Problem is it appears we will be aggressively taxed wether we invest in Canada or US due to our transitory status.

I would to know if anyone in this forum has ever gone through similar situation, wether in US or Canada and found ways to lower the amount of taxes to pay to level similar to regular US or Canadian citizens?
