I’ll be giving up my citizenship, ä¸ç®¡. I’m just waiting for my Canadian citizenship to come through.

åŽæ¥æˆ‘å‘现,我应该被æ交美国税收这次, ä¸æçš„FBARè¦æ±‚! 我å†æ¬¡è¢«å‡ºå–, åªæœ‰å¦‚æ¤ç³Ÿç³•å¾—多. ä¸ä»…是国税局æ¥åŽï¼Œæˆ‘, it’s coming after my Canadian husband (我们有共åŒçš„账户) å’Œæˆ‘åœ¨åŠ æ‹¿å¤§çš„å„¿å (my name is on his RESP).
在我未æ¥çš„ä»»ä½•æ‰€æ¬ ç¨Žæ¬¾ (which is a big fat zero because I’m in the lower middle class), 或未能æ交的,甚至公平的处罚将是一件事. But I can’t tolerate this disgusting attempt to financially ruin my family and to literally steal education from a baby! 这是æ¶å¿ƒ. 这是一个çªå‡ºçš„情况下为富ä¸ä»çš„美国例外.
所以,我的旧情人现在已ç»å˜æˆäº†ä¸€ä¸ªè·Ÿè¸ªè€…, 而且是潜在å±é™©. æˆ‘è§‰å¾—æˆ‘åˆ«æ— é€‰æ‹©ï¼Œåªèƒ½æ出离婚, å¯èƒ½, 任何国ç±é™åˆ¶ä»¤ç›¸å½“于. I’ll be giving the US consulate a call the very day my Canadian citizenship goes through. Count on it.

I don’t know what to do, 但已决定åšIRS的事情,最好的希望. I’ve never made anywhere near $90K and only bank in Canada so I suppose I’m too small a fish to get noticed, 虽然, å…¥ä¸æ•·å‡º, I applied for US social security a few years ago.

您好,
A really beautiful area is Niagara on the Lake, which is a nice little town close to Niagara Falls. There are even wineries close by and a really relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend it than Toronto.
我什至è§åˆ°ä¸€äº›ç¾Žå›½çš„外国人,他们似乎真的很高兴. 连房å真是太美了,太. Its really peaceful and by a gorgeous lake.
