Answer 2

Yes you can keep the UK bonds ... but remember that once you achieve "resident" status in Canada, you are taxed at the CANADIAN RATE on WORLDWIDE INCOME.

I don't know if there's a tax treaty between the UK and Canada; if not, and the bond income is taxable in the UK, you MAY have to pay UK taxes on the bond income as well.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

Of course you can, and the winnings too.
But make sure you give them your new address or the cheque will go to some one else.

Answer 5

Of course.
