Canadian 🐟 🐠 who work/worked in the US. What is the best way to handle your 401k, IRA (Roth), and investment accounts? Does leaving the money in the US accounts once you move back to Canada risk double taxation?

Also interested in this. Granted, my time horizon seems longer term (own a home here with plans to retire in Canada), but my thought has been to max out my ROTH accounts to benefit from Tax free cash flow in retirement in Canada, since that money has already been taxed at the (significantly lower) US tax rate. That’s my understanding of the tax treaty anyway.

So I learned today that my old CEO wanted to fire me while I was on maternity leave because "she isn't bringing in revenue and she's costing money." And he said I took "extra time" even though there was no actual policy, so they told me to take at least 12 weeks AND the COO approved it herself without issue.

I want to text everyone who still works there and put CEO on blast. Someone tell me not to.

I have a Rollover and SEP IRA alongside my current 401k.

My Roth account has the lowest balance because historically I've taken the tax deduction for pre tax contributions to the SEP and Rollover.

I understand if I contribute the money to Rollover and then backdoor to Roth, I will pay tax pro-rata based on the contribution percentage of total Rollover/SEP account balance (majority tax on funds that have grown).

Q: Can I open another traditional IRA solely for the purpose of the backdoor?
