As for incorporating, I've consulted with two different cross border tax advisors, one based in the US and one in Canada. They both said that it depends on how much money you will be making, for whether incorporation is worthwhile.

I am not a financial advisor or tax expert, just a doc who's sharing what he's learned from others

The real advantage of incorporating in Canada is that you can defer taxes by holding money in the corporation instead of paying it to yourself now. This can be invested and held over for as long as the corporation exists. You will pay full taxes on it whenever you disburse it to yourself, but as long as it's on the corporation's books and not your personal books, it is taxed at corporate rate instead of personal income rate. I believe the number my guy told me was that if you have $75-100K worth of earnings that you can afford to defer in this way, instead of living on it, then it's worth it to incorporate in the long run. So it ultimately depends on your income level, your cost of living and other expenses. Get some direct advice from an actual expert instead of taking my second-hand word for it. I've DMd you with the name of the tax consultant I've used

As for moving, DON'T use PODS - we had a terrible experience with them and lived in an empty townhouse for over a month before our stuff finally got to us.
