5. How many RRSP's can I have?
Ans. As many as you like, and in 2-3 different banks if you wish, but you can only contribute upto your limit every year. This is called \\\"Contribution Limit\\\" , it is given on your T4.
The ontribution limit of a particular year is showing up on pr year's NOA(Notice of assessment)...not on T4....for example, if you want to find out the max limit that you can contribute, please check bottom portion of the second page of your notice of assessment from previous year.....so to be precise...one can't start contributing to RRSP till first inome tax return is assessed.
Hi there,
This is a very useful article. I have immigrated to Canada in this year only. Can I open RRSP account immediately and putting money in that?
Cheers

No you can't start contributing towards your RRSP untill you have filed your first return and have recd NOA...coz that tells you your contribution limit....hope this helps...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I just want to open my RRSP account and start putting small amounts every week / month. I dont think that I would put more amount than the contribution limit. Is there anything that stops me from doing so..And I dont mind if I exceed the limit. At least, I will be investing and growing the money, rather than doing nothing.
Cheers

You can certainly open RRSP account and start investing with out any problem subject to the total amount does not exceed $2000 in the year 2006 and you would not be subjected to any penalties. However, you can not claim tax deduction for this amount when you file return for tax year 2006 in March-April 2007. The tax deduction for this would be available to you only starting tax year 2007 subject to your contribution limit which you would come to know after you file your tax return for tax year 2006.
I hope this clarifies as I do it for my clients all the time.
Good Luck

Hello,
This is an excellent article. I thank everybody for making this article so informative.
I read somewhere that the contribution limit of RRSP is 18 % of the earned income. What does \" earned income\" means? Is it total income or net income with deduction of federal taxes, EI and CPP?
Thanks in advance
