It's important to highlight that if you're no longer a Canadian resident (but are still a citizen), then you don't pay taxes to the Canadian gov't at all (unless, of course, you've made some income in Canada).
(this doesn't contradict what you said at all, waffledave. I just wanted to highlight that you're not 'trapped' as a Canadian!)
