What is an RRSP?

An RRSP is a savings plan that helps you retire on your terms. Your investments grow on a tax-deferred basis, helping you build your nest egg so you can live comfortably in retirement. For the 2024 tax year, the RRSP contribution deadline is March 3, 2025.

Benefits of an RRSP

Lower your annual tax bill

Any money you put into your RRSP within your contribution limit can be deducted from your annual income for that year or a later year. It’s like getting a nice discount at tax time.

Tax-sheltered growth

Your RRSP investment gains grow tax-free until withdrawn. When it comes time to take money out during retirement, you’ll likely do so at a lower tax rate.

Pay for your first home or education

You can borrow money from your RRSP to help pay for a down payment or education. Learn more about the Home Buyers’ Plan and Lifelong Learning Plan.

Unlimited carry-over

The maximum amount you can contribute each year is set by the government and depends on your income. If you have any unused contribution room, it carries over year after year.
