I may be moving to Canada and am wondering whether or not my ticket will be good up there?

If I am not mistaking canada has their own licensing agenda.

The US and Canada share an automatic reciprocal operating agreement. US amateurs must carry proof of their US citizenship and their valid US license. Identification for US amateurs is the US call separated by a stroke and the appropriate Canadian prefix identifier (e.g. N1KB/VE3).

This is true but if you plan on living here for any length of time, like years, the proper thing to do is obtain a proper Canadian callsign. Testing here is about on par with the USA tests. You will of course have to understand Canadian rules and regulations but you should know that before operating here regardless of the callsign used.
