Northwood Family Office CEO Outlines Why Canada is a Premier Destination for Wealthy Families Looking to Protect and Build Family Wealth

Northwood Family Office CEO Outlines Why Canada is a Premier Destination for Wealthy Families Looking to Protect and Build Family Wealth











(PRWEB) October 20, 2010

Wealthy global families are becoming increasingly aware of their need for a well thought-out citizenship and residency strategy to protect their wealth and to safeguard their freedom of movement. Those who have begun to examine this complex subject will have found the problem is not a lack of options. Rather, it is identifying the right ones and, probably more importantly, avoiding the wrong ones.

Canada is one of the world’s best kept secrets. Canada provides a safe and surprisingly tax-efficient alternative to many of the more well-known citizenships that the wealthy can consider acquiring. It hasn’t always shown up on the list of potential countries for wealthy families looking for additional citizenships or residences. The reason is its (partly unfair) reputation as a high-tax and chilly-weather destination as well as the perception that better alternatives might be available.

But things have changed and so have the perceptions. Canada is now recognized as a much more attractive destination for wealthy families, particularly from a tax efficiency and ease of immigration perspective. At the same time, the relative attractiveness of other destinations (such as the US, UK, Switzerland, and Caribbean tax havens) has waned, for well-publicised reasons.

Mr. McCullough explains: “For the first time in many years, a confluence of factors is causing many wealthy families to add Canada to the list of countries they are evaluating as part of their citizenship and residency strategy. Canada rates at or near the top of virtually all the global ‘livability’ studies, based on the attractive culture, environment, education, healthcare and stable democratic government. A Canadian passport is at or near the top of the world passport pyramid as measured by flexibility and mobility (when it is needed most). And finally, Canada offers a surprisingly-attractive tax regime for high net worth immigrants, while housing a world-class professional services and financial infrastructure.”

This video was originaly produced and edited by Braedon Wilkerson, a Ron Paul Revolutionary, in association with America Restored. This Video is a small portrayal of the current Revolution, sparked by Texas Congressman Ron Paul, taking place in our nation today. He is the leading voice of freedom, the Constitution and limited government in our nations capitol. He has been likened to Thomas Jefferson, is known widely as the taxpayers best friend, has served in Congress for twenty years, and was best friends with Ronald Reagan. He has never voted to raise taxes or for an unbalanced budget, has never voted to support any measure of power not granted to Congress in the Constitution and supports abolishing the Federal Reserve Sytem and a return to sound gold based currency and an honest monetary policy. Congressman Ron Paul’s campaign is all about freedom, prosperity, and peace. He does not want to control anyone and believes the only true purpose of government is to preserve the right of the people to excercise their freedoms as they themselves see fit -whether to their benefit or destruction.

Microsoft Office 2007 Customization is Supported by Add-in Express, The First Toolkit with Office-Specific Visual Designers and Components

(PRWEB) January 31, 2007

Add-in Express Ltd. has released Add-in Express 2007, the first RAD toolkit that empowers software developers to customize all end-user applications of Microsoft Office 2007 using visual designers and Office-ready components. Now Add-in Express 2007 allows programming secure and isolated, version-neutral and feature-rich, deployable and updatable extensions for all available Microsoft Office versions, from 2000 to 2007.

Add-in Express 2007 supplies software developers with all necessary tools to build any scale solutions based on the Microsoft Office extensibility in minutes. Visual designers provided by Add-in Express make possible to customize the revolutionary Ribbon UI as well as the old-style Office GUI, which makes equally easy to create new or to customize existing Ribbons, Ribbon tabs, Task panes on Office 2007 and to build toolbars, menus and sub-menus on all previous versions of Microsoft Office. Add-in Express components simplify accessing any Office objects, provide handling of any Office events, and allow writing a version-neutral applied code that works transparently on all Office versions. Project templates embedded into Add-in Express support all Office extensibility technologies including COM add-ins, smart tags and real-time data servers, and are specially designed to make Office solutions secure, isolated, automatically deployable and updatable.

In addition, Add-in Express 2007 enhances Microsoft Office with its own unique features such as the Advanced Outlook Form and View Regions that allows Outlook developers to use any controls on any Outlook windows and run regions on Outlook 2007 as well as on Outlook 2003, 2002 and 2000 ( http://www.add-in-express.com/outlook-extension/ ). This gives Outlook based solutions much more freedom in customizing Outlook views and forms with standard and 3d-party controls and components.

With Add-in Express 2007 all developers can create both application-specific extensions, e.g. Outlook plug-ins or Word smart tags, and shared extensions that work on all end-user applications from the Microsoft Office family: Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Project, MapPoint, Publisher, Access, FrontPage and InfoPath. Moreover, Add-in Express 2007 delivers its own Office-interoperability run-time that interacts with all Office suites and packages, from Home and Student to Enterprise and Ultimate.

Add-in Express is developed for two major programming platforms, Microsoft .NET and Borland VCL, and can be installed on professional IDEs, such as VS 2005 Team Suite and Borland Developer Studio 2006, as well as on free and low-cost Visual Studio 2005 Express and Turbo Delphi.
