Rolling 401k to RRSP -

I have recently moved back to Canada from the US and I have a couplequestions about rolling a 401(k) into an RRSP (I know in generalthis is not the best financial practice, but it looks like thiswould be the best way for me to get access to the funds to use asa down payment on a property).1. I know it's possible to roll and IRA into an RRSP. Is it possible to do so with a 401(k). From everybody I have talked to so far I am getting mixed signals as to whether this is possible, or I have to roll the 401(k) into an IRA first.2. What documentation, if any, do I need to show that I am rolling the 401(k), or the IRA, into an RRSP, so that it simply does not look like a contribution.Thanks!
