[@shamilgretzky123]

@@iansewell5494 You can have multiple RRSP accounts if you are within the limit. I had the same question and did a quick google search: Can you have more than one RRSP in Canada? There is no limit on the number of RRSPs you can have. The limit is on the total amount you can deduct. However, most people find it simpler to have only one or two plans, making it easier to keep track of their RRSP investments.

Thank you Brandon for the video. At work I also got DPSP but I do not really understand how it works. Read articles tried to understand but still have some concerns, especially who is contributing Employer or Employee. I would appreciate if you explain this one. Thank you.

[@pratheekArakkal]

I just started to watch your youtube channel few days back. this is more informative and easy to understand regarding the RRSP and TFSA. AM sure there are a few people like me checked the RRSP contribution room limit after watching the video. :) Thanks from the great video. I have a question: You said RRSP it is a tax free when you contribute to RRSP account. So let say i have RRSP account with one bank and i need to contribute to 100$ very month to account. In that case should i tell my employer to contribute the money to that account before it get taxed? Or as you explained on your previous video that it will change your total bracket of tax of that year and give that money back. Am little confused how can i contribute the money into RRSP.

[@FellatioHoratio]

FYI on HBP it is interest free but you have to pay back the money annually for 15 years (amount borrowed divided by 15) or you can not pay it but you have to declare it as your income in that tax year

Great content, thank you. You are very well spoken for a young guy, you have a DJ's voice. I would like to ask, say if one has made profits from investing with the RRSP, how does it work, as you mention , if the profits are not taxable, if one makes a withdrawl, is there still a withholding tax on all of the withdrawl or a portion? Say if one has an original registered deposit amount of $5000. and has made $5000. profit with time. If one withdraws $3000., is tax withheld on all of the amount or a portion? Is the profit kept in the RRSP until withdrawn or is the interest/profit put into another account as soon as it is made? Thanks again

For some people, deferring the RRSP tax refund could make sense, but I think it's better to always declare the maximum possible deduction to reinvest it ASAP. The sooner we create that snowball effect, the better it is.

[@subodhchoudhary7128]

Hello Brandon, Very Nice video. One query though, Everywhere it is mentioned that RRSP is at the 18% of prev year income. I'm in dilema. Here is my question.. My 2019 income is zero as I landed to Canada in Dec 2019 but my 2020 would be around 100k. So, considering stable salary income , Can Invest I in RRSP may be 15% income now without waiting for year end .

[@loveluv7311]

This is a great video Brandon! If I am in the lowest income tax bracket, but my employer is willing to match up to 5% of my earnings into RRSP, would you recommend contributing 5% of my income into RRSP?

[@underling]

100% yes. Employer matching is an automatic 100% return on your money. Don't contribute more than they match, but absolutely match the maximum. As long as your RRSP fund continues to grow, you are guaranteed to double your money instantly (via your employers contribution) plus the long term growth of your investment.

[@alexnezhynsky9707]

Beware that when you leave your employer, some companies that you have group RRSP with might outright cash out the balance in the form of a check... Happened to me so I had to pay taxes and I lost my room without having a say. Just make sure you transfer it somewhere when you leave. And of course remember that they will charge $50 or more fee to transfer out. With small funds or if you only had a small match, that fee can be outrageous

[@f3wbs]

Tips 3 and 4 I didn't know. My mom took a loan to put money into the RRSP then had to give it back plus interest. She still hasn't put money back into it... I'm planning on putting my tax refund in my TFSA since it'll probably take me 2-4 years to max it.

Hey Brandon! Great content. I am new to Canada and was struggling with understanding about taxes and these different investment accounts here. Your videos have been really helpful. I have one doubt and was hoping you could clarify - I landed here this year so this is my first year making any money in Canada. I am yet to open my RRSP account. I am also planning to buy my first home in the next 2-3 months. Can i take 18% of my earnings for this year and add them to my RRSP this month and then withdraw them in, lets say Feb 2023 for the downpayment of my house? Would i still get tax benefits? Again, appreciate the great content! Thanks!

[@landokhan]

What happens to all the gains in an RRSP? Can I withdraw without penalty/tax?

[@Po101080]

Thanks Brandon! I had a question: suppose my investments in the RRSP has capital growth, e.g. from my $1000 investment in some stocks, the market value now grows to $1500 and I sell some stocks to get $500 in appreciation. Since it is a RRSP account, is this money meant to just stay in my account (even though I know and as you said you can certainly take it out)? In other words, are all my capital gains in the RRSP meant to just stay inside to reinvest and grow the investment? Not really for you to get a profit and spend it elsewhere?

[@vimalalwaysrocks]

Noob Question on Mistake#3: Over contributing. Am a new comer to Canada. My RRSP contribution limit is 0$. My employer does a 50% match on RRSP upto 4500$. So I am over contributing 9000$ + 4500$ = 13,500$ Assuming I pay 1% per month in fine for an year, I will be losing 135$ x 12 = 1620$. I thought I would rather lose 1620$ this year rather than missing out on my employers' 4500$ RRSP match. Is my decision good?

[@Mani-xh9xi]

Hey Brandon, I do have DCPP (Definite Contribution Pension Plan) with my employer affiliated with one of the major insurance company. What is the difference between RRSP and DCPP?

[@beaviswealth]

hey Mani! It's kinda similar actually because a DCPP is basically taking money off of your payroll and investing it for your retirement! The RRSP would be a similar idea but it would be personal rather than through work :)

For Tip #4 you explained we can defer that deduction in the future. So if I put in 18K today then 18K next year. Am I able to deduct 36K Or only up to 18% of whatever my new income was up to the 26K cap?

[@itsjuliehoran]

I'm wanting to open an account with WealthSimple (still unsure if I am going to go with Trade or Invest), as I want to open an RRSP to invest in for retirement. My dilemma is that I also want to hold money for a down payment of my first home. I am not sure if an RRSP or a TFSA is the best route for this money - I know that the RRSP includes the HomeBuyers Plan, but the idea of having to pay the money back within 15 years seems daunting. Any advice?

[@LamPhungXuan]

great video, just a question. If I buy stock using my RRSP's fund, and gain a capital. Am I able to withdraw that gain out of my RRSP without tax and losing my room? I mean I just withdraw my gain amount, not the one I contributed. And what if I invest and get capital loss

[@landokhan]

I'm very interested in understanding this too> What happens to all the gains in an RRSP?

[@McWrisk]

You would be subject to withholding tax assuming you are under 71 and then would pay the tax on that gain as you would as income at your marginal rate. Also yes this will reduce the room.

Are you able to have multiple RRSP accounts like you could with TFSA? Would I be able to open up say, another RRSP account at a different institution while keeping the preexisting GRSP through your workplace, connected to another financial institution? Also, could you elaborate on point #4? I am still confused as to what you mean. Thank you!

[@wiseman4160]

Explain point number 4 I'll give you an example. When you give to a charity or a church, you can use those charity giving on tax time. Now say one year you didn't owe a lot of taxes, that would be a bad year to use your charity giving to lower your taxes, because you have 5 years to use those charity giving receipts to owe less taxes. So say I was giving to charities for 4 years and one year I know I would owe a lot in taxes, I can use all those previous years of charity receipts to get a good brake on taxes owed! Same exact thing with RRSP, you choose the year to use it to owe less on taxes. Aparently there is some Canadians that are surprised when they find out they have a few years to claim charity giving to help on taxes.
