Make the most of your registered
retirement savings plan (RRSP)

If you get a tax refund for your contribution, you can use this money to pay down your loan more quickly.

  • Make a bigger contribution to your RRSP
  • Build savings faster with a larger amount earning returns
  • Defer your first loan payment for 120 days2 (with a standard RRSP loan; interest continues to accrue during this period)

Find out how much contribution room you have through the Canada Revenue Agency’s My Account website, MyCRA mobile app or Tax Information Phone Service at 1-800-267-6999.
