For folks who moved from US to Canada how did you deal with financial assets when moving from US to Canada? I eventually want to return to US. I have a 401k/Roth IRA/HSA/Brokerage Account/Savings Account/Checking Account. I don't want to bring all my finances to Canada. I'm a foreign national in the US. Ideally I want to have a setup where I can draw from my funds in US to CA on a need basis. But how do you make sure not paying extra when dealing with currency exchange?

Following this thread

Keep your Roth, 401k and HSA as is. The same applies for your bank account.

You can move your brokerage to Questrade (assuming you have Robinhood). Has some tax benefits too.
