A Registered Retirement Savings Plan, popularly known as an RRSP, is an investment tool to help you save for your retirement, while also lowering the income tax that you may pay during your working years.
Money contributed to an RRSP is shielded from tax as it goes in and can be invested on a tax-free basis until it’s withdrawn during retirement, at which time what is withdrawn is taxed as income.
RRSP’s can be invested in many savings vehicles at Mainstreet
Pre-Authorized Contributions
Invest early and often and you will take advantage of the benefits of savings growth through compounding interest -- where your savings create more savings just by being in the account!
