You can rollover (direct roll over) your IRA to your RRSP. if you wish to roll your U.S. retirement plan into a Canadian RRSP account you have to be really careful. Generally, if the employer contributed to a U.S. retirement plan while the employee was a resident of the U.S., a rollover into a Canadian RRSP would be possible without affecting the RRSP contribution room. However, if an employer contributed to the plan while the employee was a resident in Canada, the employee would not be allowed to roll the plan into an RRSP account on a tax-free basis. The lump-sum payment of the retirement plan would be included in taxable income for the year; however, it may be possible to shelter part of the transfer if there is available RRSP contribution room.
