Folks,
This is applicable to AINP applicants under H1B SRS plan. All of us have had their paychecks with deductions towards Social Security, Medicare and 401k (optional)?
After we get PR and relocate to AB for good, what happens to our contributions already made through our payroll in US?
Can we transfer these in parts or all of funds to corresponding system in Canada OR we kiss good bye to all our contributions made here?
I have heard that 401K funds can be withdrawn with penalty but I am not sure if there is similar arrangement in Canadian tax system which will allow direct transfer of 401k funds without having to pay for the penalty.
Any insight into the following topics would be really helpful:
Thanks in advance.
