Plan for a comfortable retirement with an RRSP

​​Take control of your future with a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. An RRSP helps you build the retirement you deserve by offering tax-exempt contributions and income growth while your savings stay in the plan.  Start investing in your tomorrow, today!
Your allowable RRSP contribution for the 2024 tax-year is the lower of 18% of your earned income from the previous year, or $31,560.

​Enjoy the benefits of an RRSP

  • ​Lower your tax – Regular contributions to your RRSP will reduce the tax you owe, especially during your higher income years.
  • Grow your money – Because your RRSP is tax-deferred, your earnings will be tax sheltered until you withdraw them in retirement.
  • Contribute until you’re 71 – Make annual contributions up to 18% of your earnings up to a government-mandated limit until you turn 71.
  • Borrow from your RRSP to purchase your first home without penalty – Speak to a member of our team to learn more.
  • Borrow from your RRSP to help fund your education without penalty –  Speak to us​ to learn more.
  • Multiple investment products are available within an RRSP account –Term deposits, mutual funds, stocks and bonds included. 
 
 

What we offer:

  • Individual, spousal or common-law partner RRSPs.
