Registered Retirement Savings Plans
A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a government-approved plan through which you save money for your retirement years. Your contributions, within limits, are tax deductible and income earned is tax sheltered. You can have any number of plans. You can hold RRSPs until the end of the calendar year in which you turn 71, during which time you must make a retirement income option decision for your retirement savings.
