I believe there are restrictions for anyone over 50 who wants to move to Canada. There are work restrictions, you can't just show up there without a job and be unemployed. And not everybody can get a work permit. I found this webpage:

This was in the Q&A:

Q: My wife and I are considering moving to Canada and want to be certain we can be covered by Canadian healthcare. We are both in excellent health but in our early 60's. What do we need to do to be eligible for healthcare?
A: In order to move to Canada, you will need to undergo a medical examination by a doctor from an approved list of physicians. (See pages 49-50 of HOW TO MOVE TO CANADA for more information about the exam.) If you and your wife pass that exam and are accepted by Canada as permanent residents, you will then be treated like any other Canadian.

So if you're over 50 you must pass a physical and be in good health so's you're not sucking up their healthcare dollars when you can be maltreated back in the good old USA.
