Like David Hasselhoff, Germans love Akoha :)
Wish I read the language, but it's still very cool to see Akoha start to be written about around the world.

Digital Moose Lounge holds expats survival day in Silicon Valley
While I appreciate what Digital Moose Lounge does to help Canadians living & networking in the Valley, I have to point out that if any Canadians are getting kicked out of the Valley for visa violations - there are plenty of great startups in Canada that would love to meet you. Experienced web application developers, web marketing, User Experience designers & casual game designers are welcome to reach out to me [austin @ akoha.com] if you are moving back to Canada and are interested in Montreal.
Save the Date
The Digital Moose Lounge along with Communitech and MaRS Discovery District proudly present:
Expat Survival Day:
Immigration & Tax Topics
from
Entry Permit to Estate Planning
(and all your needs in between)
9:00 am - 2:00 pm, Saturday March 14th, 2009
At the Hilton San Jose
New to the Bay Area or a long time resident? Here’s your chance to get your questions on tax and immigration answered while meeting other Canadians!
David Zaritzky Brown, David Roberts and Zuzana Goldstein, our highly regarded experts in the areas of Immigration Law and Cross Border Taxation, will present you with an expat survival kit of information and advice answering questions such as:
- Will the backlog in Immigrant Visas affect me?
- Do I really need to report my RRSP investments to the State of California?
- How do I plan my green card application around TN status and the H-1B cap?
- If I plan on returning to Canada, how should I plan my estate in order to take advantage of tax laws on both sides of the border?
- How do I protect my status and maintain stability in this economic downturn?
- If I don’t want to immigrate, what options are available to me to live and work in the US?
- And much, much more!
Two simultaneous tracks on tax and immigration allow you to pick and choose the sessions of greatest significance to you.
Our speakers are passionate about their specific practice area and will be pleased to answer your questions. They will be available during the breaks between sessions and after the presentation to ensure that you walk away with great information. This is an excellent opportunity to get the information you need for a fraction of the price you would pay for a private consultation. In addition, all attendees will receive booklets jam-packed with the latest cross-border survival techniques.
DML is able to offer all this at a great deal to expats living and working in the Bay Area:
- $35 early bird pricing (before Monday, March 2nd!)
- $45 before event
- $55 at the door
The full session agenda, speaker bios, and online registration will be on the DML site shortly. You will receive a follow-up email when they are!
Interested in sponsoring a table at the event? Contact kdamen@marsdd.com for more info.
Thank you,
The Digital Moose Lounge
