what are the requirements for a US retired couple to gain citizenship in Canada?

My husand and I are US citizens and are semi-retired. Once we are fully retired, we are considering moving to Canada. Can you tell me what is required to become full-time residents/citizens of Canada? Thanks

Before you can become citizens - you must become permanent residents first.

The options for obtaining permanent residency are outlined here:

Unfortunately there is no retirement class. To immigrate, you would have to qualify, apply and be accepted through one of the immigration streams outlined in the link above (e.g. skilled worker, investor, etc.).

Actually, that was the exact reason we were planning on moving! Fortunately, we can wait awhile.
