A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a savings plan that is registered with the federal government and available to most Canadians allowing tax-deferred investment. Contributions to your RRSP reduce your taxable income, which allows you to pay less tax now and build a larger retirement fund for the future. This investment is designed primarily for savings for your retirement years.
An RRSP can hold a combination of eligible investments, such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds and ETFs *, Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) and cash.
Canadians are living longer and more active lifestyles in retirement. RRSPs can be an important part of your overall retirement plan, helping you to maintain your standard of living when you retire. Why RRSPs may be right for you:
If you do not have cash available, you may want to consider borrowing to invest in your RRSP. The cost of the loan is usually less than what you gain by growing your money tax-free.

Simplify your investing today! Avoid having to find a lump sum to invest every year right after Christmas by making regular contributions. Plus, you get the benefits of a whole year of investing. The best way to accelerate your RRSP is to contribute automatically – weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly – from your payroll, savings or chequing account. You will hardly notice the difference in your account balance and by the end of the year, you will have made a substantial RRSP contribution. By contributing regularly, you will be compounding the interest monthly instead of just focusing on the tax advantages of a one-time contribution at the end of the year.

A third party is an individual or entity, other than the account holder or those authorized to give instructions about the account, who directs what happens with the account. For example, if an account were opened in one individual’s name for deposits that are directed by someone else, the other person or entity would be a third party.
