Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)

2022-23 OSAP Application for Full-time Students

An RRSP is a retirement savings plan that you establish, and is registered by the Government of Canada, to which you, your spouse or common-law partner contribute. Deductible RRSP contributions can be used to reduce an individual’s tax.

Any income you earn in the RRSP is usually exempt from tax as long as the funds remain in the plan; you generally have to pay tax when you receive payments from the plan.
