You can come and go as you please. The advantage is no hassles opening a bank account which can save a lot of money by using Forex to do transfers.. You can get a Mexican DL and most states now require you to have it to buy a car. It also puts you on medicare (INSABI) for what that is worth. I personally signed up for skymed. In Canada the advantage of spending 5 months there is that you retain Canadian Medicare. Summers in Canada are better than those in Mexico so it may be a case of becoming a sunbird, where I spend more time in Mexico than Canada and just visit Canada in summer. I will retain at least a condo there. Knowing I can go into a Canadian hospital for free if I come down with something real serious is peace of mind. I am thinking of my wife who went through 18 months of chemo 3 years ago. She flew back for 3 days every 3 weeks. Chemo drugs in mexico are in short supply and I suspect even with airfare it worked out cheaper. All she paid for in Canada was parking.
I may go fro citizenship eventually, I already have Canadian & British and my spanish is getting better all the time.
