Am I eligible for the 30% tax credits when I contribute to an RRSP+ with the Fonds through the random selection?

The same criteria apply whether or not you contribute through the random selection. For example, as of the year in which you turn 65, you are no longer eligible for these tax credits.[1]

With the RRSP+, you're eligible for two tax credits that, when combined, add up to 30% in tax savings.[1] The maximum contribution amount eligible for tax credits is $5,000 per year, per person, which represents an additional tax savings of $1,500 ($750 at the Quebec provincial level and $750 at the federal level).

However, the Fonds will not verify whether the selected savers are already contributing to the Fonds. If you are selected, make sure your total contributions do not exceed $5,000 if you want the full amount to be eligible for the 30% in tax credits.[1]
