Have been doing a lot of reading on retirement is Costa Rica, I am from Calgary Canada, is it a lot of hassel to do it and is it worht it?
You pose a very broad question to which there could be many answers. The first question is, would you even want to retire to Costa Rica? For that, you need to spend some time here. Have you?
we hope to soon, just looking online at some stuff right now, it looks like it might be a bit of a culture shock to begin with. As i read through this form I am sure I will come up with more questions, thanks for your reply.
Things are different here culturally, economically, bureaucratically, and in other ways. None of them is necessarily bad, but they are definitely different from what you’re used to. One question is just how flexible you are and how willing to change your expectations.
If you expect this to be Canada without the snow, you’ll be in for a disappointment. If you look upon this as an adventure, you may be very pleasantly surprised.
Actually looking to get more for my buck when I retire, Canada cant offer that, what is the crime rate like there.
The crime rate in Costa Rica, like the crime rate in Canada and everywhere else, varies greatly from one location to another. This has been discussed extensively here and elsewhere. You might try the “Search” feature here for links.

After searching, if you can not find the answers then by all means please come back and post your questions in this Discussion Forum ….
