| Hi
I taught in Switzerland for a year and paid into a pension. I was told that I should take it out if I wasn't going to work there anymore. I was hoping to get another job in Switzerland but didn't and still have a pension there. How can I take it out? I don't know anything about it other than that I paid into a pension while I was teaching there. Thanks. | |

a bit old but you should have done it before leaving. You can cash it now but the pension will be treated as income and taxed in Canada. The exit taxes are lower if you had cashed it out before you left Switzerland.
