This is a great idea. Been mulling this kind of idea by the OP for a while now, both my options, the UK and Canada appear to be circling the drain.
The only snag I would imagine is having a big enough war chest to not need to work while in the USA, or have work one can do with a laptop from anywhere in the world. I’ll go one further on your idea. If you have a home in Canada, if the sale is a large enough chunk, I’d posit buy a tiny non ground floor/1st floor condo in a quiet little town, with low monthly fees. Use the remainder of the cash to buy another condo or house in the USA somewhere. Far north Texas, Alabama or one of the other not completely hard left insane non ass freezing areas.
Then one simply alternates between homes. I believe if one just flies out of the USA back to Canada, even for just 24 hours, you can fly back and reset the 6 month clock. I’d imagine many Snowbirds do this.
If you own a home in Canada, sell it, buy a house where you want to. you automatically have 6 months of the year to stay there.
File the paper work for and LLC, work for yourself, pay yourself thru the LLC. Thats about it.
I would doubt anyone is going to look for you or bother you.
