Immigrating from Canada. Can you pull out your contributions to CPP?

I've gone over all of CRA's website and can't find nothing. I'm hoping someone has tried this before and can tell what they had to go through and if it was successful. Any Canadian accountants out there please?

Answers:
Hello,

No, you cannot receive a refund of contributions to CPP. When you reach the age of 60 you will still be eligible to apply for and receive the Canada Pension Plan, though if you cease contributing it will be a reduced amount. You can do this regardless of where you reside in retirement, though you will likely have to pay a non-resident tax of up to 25%.

Cheers.
you're not immigrating, you're emmigrating.
No all CPP contributions are locked in , You could receive a pension starting at age 60 or earlier is disabled. The only provision for a refund would be the contributions in your last year of employment if the pernsionable earnings were less than the minimum.
