If I am working in Canada on a work Visa, do they still take out taxes for Canadian Pension?



Hi! I am going to be offered a job in Canada on a work visa, and I am trying to calculate how much money I will lose to taxes in moving from the U.S. Do they take out CPP taxes if you aren't a Canadian citizen?

yes youll have to pay but when you do retire it will be transfered over to you in the USA Source(s): Real Estate Administrative Secretary - was the assistant to an accountant at my last job ( I did payroll)

Ordinarily, you'd be subject to CPP, but Canada and the US have a social security agreement. You'd be best served to contact CRA and/or the IRS with details of your planned employment to determine which plan you'd be covered under. It makes a difference if your employer is American or not.
