Only if the retiree is married to a U.S. citizen. A person cannot simply enter to live in the U.S. based on retirement. There is no visa category for retirement. The only legal methods of entry are through citizen marriage, employment, or asylum.

It is possible for you, as a US citizen who is retired, to obtain permanent resident status in Canada, if there is a good reason for you to be in Canada, such as, to join your closest relatives who happen to be Canadian citizens. Your specific circumstances have to be considered by the immigrantion officials. If your sole reason to live in Canada is that it is easier to obtain health insurance in Canada than in the US, then your application would not be approved.
