    Where can a member find their RRSP contribution room?

    Explanation
    A member can find their RRSP contribution room on their Notice of Assessment (NOA). The NOA is a document sent by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) after an individual files their income tax return. It provides a summary of the individual's tax situation, including their RRSP contribution room for the year. By referring to their NOA, individuals can determine how much they are eligible to contribute to their RRSP and maximize their tax savings.

    Explanation
    The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is available to Canadian Residents age 18 and older. TFSA allows taxpayers to set money aside in eligible investment vehicles and watch those savings grow tax-free throughout their lifetime.

    There are no restrictions on the way TFSA funds (contributions and earnings) may be used (i.e. purchase a car, renovate a home, start a small business, take a family vacation, or just save for a rainy day). All income levels and all walks of life can benefit from a TFSA. But only a careful review of each person's financial situation will determine how to optimize use of RRSP's, RESP's, RRIF's and TFSAs.
