Your RRSP is a savings account dedicated to your retirement. The money you put into it is tax deductible and grows tax sheltered. Inside your RRSP, you can hold eligible products such as Term Deposits, Index-Linked Term Deposits, Mutual Funds* and more.
You only pay tax on the money you take out in retirement and you can contribute until you’re 71. Money can be used early to buy a house or pay for school, as long as you pay it back over a certain period of time.
