A bit of background: my husband has a postdoctoral position in the U.S. 
starting in January 1990, and we have some questions about how taxation works 
between the two countries. The bulk of his salary will actually come from a 
Canadian source, but the people he's working with in the U.S. will also
be "topping up" this amount. He'll therefore have income from both countries,
albeit much less from the U.S. Does anyone know how this works? Does he simply 
fill out a tax form in each country for the appropriate amount, or is one or 
the other entitled to all of it?

Also, when we won't be living in a Canadian province, is there any provision
for paying anything other than Federal tax on his income (which, BTW, comes
from a Federal government source, not a company incorporated in a particular
province)? Or are they going to do something nasty like "well you last lived
in the province of Ontario so you continue paying Ontario tax"?

Does anybody know any good tax consultants who could explain all these
sorts of things, and caveats/benefits/whathaveyou associated with being a
non-resident of Canada with Canadian income?

Thanks a lot. I'll pass on any useful information (or, if you think these are
general enough questions, feel free to post it; I read this list regularly).
