Our response:

There are a number of benefits to saving in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). For example:

  • Contributions are tax deductible – you claim your RRSP contribution as a deduction on your tax return
  • Savings grow tax-free – you won’t pay tax on investment earnings as long as they stay in your RRSP
  • You can borrow from your RRSP to buy your first home or pay for your education

There are other benefits which you can read about in 5 reasons to open an RRSP.
