Hi, my wife is in a very similar situation. Left Canada in March, cashed some of her private pension contribution (BCHydro), and rolled the rest onto an RRSP.

CRA took 30% of her lump pension withdrawal. This occurred in Sep 2013, when she was not a green car holder.

Hello again,

Just one more question...

My pension plan is in reality a 'private' pension plan, with no links or dependencies from the Government of Canada.

Can CRA withold my non-residency status due to tax dispute?

Good morning to you all.

My wife and I are moving to the USA in 2013. We already have a green card, which we’ll exercise in June next year.

By then we’ll have cut all significant ties to Canada: DL, Health card, and so on. We already sold our principal residence in BC, and purchased a home ...
