Withholding Tax on RRSP Contribution Room Withdrawal

Hi,

I am considering topping up my RRSP this year to my Contribution Room limit. However, it is likely that I will leave Canada in the next year or two and want to withdraw my RRSP if I do. If I contribute $20k now for 2020, will that be subject to withholding tax if/when I withdraw the RRSP, or will that be tracked separately since those are not tax deferred funds I am putting in? Thanks!

I'm thinking you are referring to Canadian RRSP's. But this forum site seems to be US-centric, so few people may be able to offer guidance on the RRSP's. There is a similar forum site for Canada, https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/turbotax-support/help/03/en-ca
