While the program was enhanced to include others that were not previously eligible, the IRS added a requirement that may make those who travel frequently to the U.S. ineligible.  We blogged about this, see these links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/wldtax.com\/internal-revenue-service-announces-changes-streamlined-program\">Internal Revenue Service announces changes to Streamlined Programs <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/wldtax.com\/irs-streamlined-procedures-update-non-residency-requirements\">IRS Streamlined Procedures \u2013 Update on Non-Residency Requirements<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FATCA Enacted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On July 1, 2014, the US\u2019s Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act became law worldwide.

Taxpayers can now combine and total amounts for non-Canadian properties held in accounts with Canadian trust companies and registered securities dealers.  This change should make reporting and gathering information much easier next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details can be found here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cra-arc.gc.ca\/E\/pbg\/tf\/t1135\/README.html\">http:\/\/www.cra-arc.gc.ca\/E\/pbg\/tf\/t1135\/README.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US Immigration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to renounce your U.S. citizenship?
