Hi David, 
I just read one of your articles on the net as I was in search of the answer
to this question:
If an RRSP annuitant dies and has designated his wife (a U.S. resident) as
beneficiary, can the RRSP still be rolled over to her tax-free? 
I would very much appreciate your help.
Sincerely,

Yes - it is exempted under the US / Canada Tax Treaty.  I am answering this from home but I think it is Article XVII
