Automatic contributions


Take advantage of payroll deductions

If your employer offers payroll deductions, you can automatically contribute with every paycheque and immediately benefit from your additional tax savings.

Discover the benefits of payroll deductions

Contribution methods: In order to maintain a balanced business model, certain contribution methods will remain suspended beyond June 1, 2022. Therefore, lump sum contributions and automatic bank withdrawals will not be accepted for RRSP+ share purchases. The suspension does not affect payroll deductions, existing preauthorized withdrawal agreements, or repayments that are required under the HBP or LLP.
