moving savings to canada?

yes, you can put assets in canadian banks.  will it protect your wealth to a greater extent than the fdic protection provided by the us government? probably not. if you do business or spend significant time in canada, then having at least some money in canada makes sense. otherwise, you're trying to protect yourself against some outlying risk of a us banking collapse, while subjecting yourself to a very real currency exchange risk.
