There are many retired Canadians who travel to the USA and stay for up to 6 months ( maximum stay allowed under current law) .
These Canadians are financially independent & spend their money in our communities, which boosts the local economy. This is not an insignificant sum of money either.
There should be an opportunity for retired Canadians to be able to stay as permanent residents so that we can benefit from this increase in revenue all year round.
Many retired Canadians would gladly do this given the chance.
