Common question

I moved to Canada and left my 401(k) in the U.S. — what happens to it?

It generally continues to grow tax-deferred and is taxed by Canada when withdrawn, with a U.S. tax credit available for withholding paid — but the timing and method of withdrawal can significantly change the total tax outcome, so this is worth planning ahead of the first withdrawal.
