    Aug 27 2025
    In this episode of Canadian Investing in the US, Glen Sutherland speaks with Torrin Brauch, an American expat who relocated to Ecuador in search of a better food supply and overall quality of life. Torrin shares his journey from growing organic food on a farm in Florida to building a 17-unit eco-lodge in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. He discusses his motivations for leaving the U.S., the process of buying his first property within days of arriving, and how Ecuador’s low property taxes, favorable climate, and structured property registry system made it a compelling place to settle and invest. Torrin now operates a hospitality and real estate development business under the banner Live the Life in Ecuador, offering seller-financed lots, sustainable housing, and relocation support for foreigners. He walks listeners through the logistics of buying property, visa options, and the legal framework for ownership and financing in Ecuador. Torrin also highlights the lifestyle benefits, including clean air, fresh food from community food forests, and a welcoming local culture.

  • EP381 $250 Visa Fee to Enter the USA Explained with Filomena Maimone

    EP381 $250 Visa Fee to Enter the USA Explained with Filomena Maimone
    Aug 13 2025
    In this episode of Canadian Investing in the US, Glen Sutherland welcomes back immigration attorney Mena Maimone of Maimone Legal to clarify recent misinformation circulating online about a so-called "$250 visa fee" for Canadians entering the United States. Mena explains that this is actually the Visa Integrity Fee, which applies only to new U.S. visa applications—such as E2 investor visas or student visas—and has recently increased from $250 to $500. It does not affect Canadians traveling as visitors for shopping, vacations, or short business trips, nor does it impact those who already hold valid visas until they renew. The discussion highlights how social media has distorted the facts, leading many to believe the fee applies at the border to all travelers. The conversation also addresses rumors that Canadians are being detained or deported in large numbers when entering the U.S. Mena confirms these claims are unfounded, noting that any detentions are typically tied to legitimate issues such as criminal history or security concerns. She suggests that fear-driven narratives may be partly motivated by concern over the increasing number of Canadians—especially high-income earners and investors—moving south for business and lifestyle opportunities. Both Glen and Mena encourage listeners to seek accurate, professional advice rather than rely on online hearsay, assuring that cross-border travel and investment remain accessible and safe for most Canadians.
