A lot of people who work in the USA on non-immigrant visas like H1B have been moving to Canada to get a reliable future in terms of permanent residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move to Canada from the US is easy except for the transfer of a Robinhood account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robinhood is not available in Canada<\/strong> as of writing this article. We will update it as and when this changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, if you move to Canada permanently, meaning that you are not maintaining a physical presence in the US<\/a>, then you are also not eligible to maintain your Robinhood account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is mandated by IRS rules and not Robinhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robinhood will detect your location as and when you log in to your account. Once they detect that you are outside the US, you will need to re-verify your US address with a government-issued photo ID card with a US address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you still have a valid ID, you may be able to extend your Robinhood use until the ID expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people who move to Canada on PR use the VPN to hide their real location. This may be helpful for a short period since Robinhood forces you to sell all your investments once they detect that you are not a US resident anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat happens if you Move to Canada?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
