When you move what do you do with your Canadian finances and debt?

So once I leave my job to move with my fiancé I will be eligible to receive EI even though I will be living in the US? I did not know you could receive EI while you are out of the country.

yep you can. It's even on the EI website.

You can't get the EI until you receive your EAD, but you should apply for it within 4 weeks of leaving your employment. If you have worked enough hours, you can max out at 55% of what you were making. (Funny story, when I first started my job with Target, I made only slightly over what EI was paying... So jobs in the USA definitely will pay less than equal jobs in Canada. I plan on going back to school after I qualify for in state tuition, which takes a year, and save some money up for the schooling.)

Oh, thank you so much for all of that information. That will definitely help us out as I have student loans etc I will need to continue to pay in Canada and I don't want to have to put that burden on my fiancé. I plan on going back to school as well as I'm one year short of receiving by bachelor degree. I'm trying to research how many credits I am allowed to transfer etc to continue my post secondary education while living there. So much to do!! Lol

Some schools will waive the 1 yr residency for in state tuition rates--some will base it on the USA citizens residency length--just have to ask
