Hi,

I moved from the U.S. to Canada towards the end of 2025, and I have a couple of brokerage accounts at Fidelity and E*Trade, that just hold stocks.

I’m looking to transfer these “in-kind” to IBKR Canada so that I don’t have to cash out and have to deal with the tax complications.

I’m currently a Canadian resident, and a non-resident and non-Citizen of the US.

Is it possible to transfer these brokerages “in-kind” to IBKR? Based on my initial research, it looks like it is possible but I did read that the tax IDs have to be the same on IBKR and the US brokerages for the transfer to go through. How do I reconcile this with a Canadian SIN (IBKR) and US brokerage(SSN) ?

Thanks!
