    EW is correct.
    The keyword is Domicile.
    Americans are taxed on citizenship, regardless of place of residence.
    Canadian are taxed on residency.
    i.e. If you sell all your Canadian assets, close your Canadian bank account, resign from your clubs, cut all business/employment/social ties with Canada, and move your family abroad, you become a non-resident. Your non-Canadian earned income will not be taxed by Canada.

  2. As an individual trader, do I pay tax as my trading account accrues monies from my successful trades, or, do I pay tax when I move any monies to my chequing or savings account...???

  3. How about setting up your trading offshore in the Turks and Caicos? One of Toronto's biggest tax firms advertises this service although I don't know the particulars, clearly any money you withdrew for personal use would be taxed as income by CRA but at least you could avoid corporate income tax on your retained earnings (trading profits).
