cost of Canadian taxes compare with the US?

As a new permanent resident I was surprised at the cost I had to pay to have my Canadian and US taxes done by an accountant. How can I manage this cost going forward?

That's just optional. If you want, you can file Canadian tax returns yourself.

Learn how to do your taxes yourself. If you are doing more complex taxes especially cross border taxes with investments, pensions, etc., it often will save you money in the end to pay someone to do your taxes unless you are willing to dedicate the time to invest on the intricacies of both systems.
