It may be different for you as a US citizen (I think you are) but I was looking at living in the states a number of years back and I read (as I recall) that via the tax treaty you could unwind RRSP essentially tax free. You likely had to put into a 401k or ROTH, etc.

Thankfully I don’t own RRSPs.

There’s no such cross-border treatment for retirement funds that I’m aware. The withholding tax does “enjoy” tax treaty status.

There was a couple paragraphs on tax neutral status but yeah that involves putting it in a controlled vehicle state side. Good move 😃
