Here are my suggestions:

HIINX – Harbor International: This is an international stock fund with 20%+ returns over the major periods

CGMFX – CGM focus is a very aggressive fund that returned 72% last year in the large value category

WWNPX – Kinetrics Paradigm Fund – also solid returns and does well in up and down markets

VTSMX – Vanguard Total Stock Market Index – might as well have an index fund in there and Vanguard’s are fairly low cost.

With the markets a bit depressed now is a great time to buy!

I am not a Canadian. I know in Denver, Colorado, the bank that I used there did not want customers who lived outside the Denver area. They asked me to find a bank in my new home area.
Depending on the amount of time until your move, you should be able to transfer your investments (stocks and mutual funds) to a company such as Fidelity Investments. Fidelity has the capability to work with you in most any country.
The question becomes what country you will pay your taxes and maintain your citizenship in.
Example: If you were to become a missionary in another country, you could maintain your owerships in your home country. There are procedures which an attorney who specializes in international law should be able to tell you. You should have an attorney’s advice before you live out of your home country for more than 30 days anyway.
