Before you worry about whether 2006 US will read your data, you should decide
whether you want to use it at all. For Canadians, the drawbacks of the US
version are:
-- no online banking
-- no downloads of Canadian stock prices
-- downloads of Canadian mutual funds use a different symbol
-- no currency history
-- multi currency support is much less robust
-- no conversion of US stocks to C$ (because the version assumes it is working
in US$)
If these drawbacks aren't a problem, then the simple answer is give it a try. As
long as you keep a backup, you can always go back to it if it doesn't work.
My bet is you'll be uninstalling the US version and installing your Canadian
one.
