RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:About time Thanks for the info. I agree that it depends with whom you hold your shares. I have my shares in an account at one of the major banks. They told me the only change is that I won't be able to do the online share buy/sell orders myself, I'll need an agent to do that, but that the shares will show up in my Canadian account, converted for CAD$ equivalent. I checked this information twice. I am sure that your broker is right for your situation, and would suggest to all that these are the right people to talk to.
As for dividends, its normal that there be a withholding yet this is never more than your home country would tax you at, and often far less. So if your dividends are into an RRSP, they are simply counted as contributions to your RRSP or TFSA (canada). If they exceed the amount you are allowed, you need to then direct a different path for your dividends (ie. a cash account).
Stars won't give you guidance on this because its different for everyone. This is a personal decision based on each case individually. Today we are going with the market, yet I suspect as Flutter gets traded again starting tomorrow, there will be only 6 Flutter trading days to their vote,9 days to the Stars vote meeting on 24th.
