What to do with UK ISA
 
Has anyone done anything with their ISA's on moving to Canada? There is no UK tax benefit if you continue to hold these unless you plan on returning to the UK. From what I can make out the Canadians may want to collect tax on the income and gain on these accounts.
Has anyone tried to transfer their ISA's to a RRSP's ?

Hi Don
We opted to cash ours in, and will start again putting the cash into RRSPs in Canada. Then it is clear that Canadian tax will not apply to any capital gain or income.

Would be a good idea if they could be transferred, but just don't think the systems are up to that yet.
