    If anybody has personal finance questions that they would like answered by Canadian experts please let me know.

    There are alot of questions here regarding bankruptcy. I went onto the internet and started looking at all of the questions I could find. I was amazed by how many questions people are asking.

    They're obviously very concerned about their financial well being and what the implications are of bankruptcy.

Finance Question - Non-Resident money transfer

Recently friend of mine sold his house in Canada and moved to Dubai. He is a Canadian Citizen but been a non-resident of Canada for over 3 years. He did maintain a house all these years which he sold recently. He made some profit in the process along with the payments made towards his mortgage all these years. It is little over 100k which is in one of the Canadian banks.

Now he want to take some of the money (15K) to Dubai to cover some unexpected expenses.
1. What is the best way he can do this?
2. What are the restrictions and laws related to non-residents taking profits made in Canada?

Appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thank you
