Canadian Retirees Visa

How does one have $$ that produce no taxable income?? Interest and investment income is taxable. Sounds to me like someone is scamming the system. That $22,000 includes all income: CPP and I think Social security. Netjam: Did you work your whole life? How could your CPP for you and the wife be less than $22,000. Even if it is around $15,000 the GIS is only a few dollars. 40 years ago snowbirds could live on very little. Park rental rates were cheap and included electricity. But today between the fuel to get south, park rent, electricity and health insurance $22,000 is not gong to do much when you still have to live in Canada the other 6 months. It takes about 350 gallons minimum to travel. That is around $1500. Park rent in a cheap spot is 5 times $500. So we are at $4000 US without electricity and food. Health insurance for 2 varies by age and condition but a good guess would be $1500.00 .
