Have been enjoying your videos very much and appreciate the clear info on these topics. One thing that stuck out in this one is at the end when you say there are no implications in withdrawing money from a TFSA. This is essentially true but leaves out the effect on contribution room in the year that the withdrawal is made.

Biggie for me is that u can remove principle and gains, and that is added to your contribution room for next tax year. So it could get to a million 🙂

CRA & My Service Canada are much easier to get into now because they allow you to use your banking credentials to log in and MFA makes it very safe. I log into both services regularly and I find it getting better and better each year.

I suggest not relying on their info. They rely on reporting which may be slow. Account for your own transactions to avoid 1% penalty per month

I'm new to the channel and really enjoying your content as it's broken down in an easy to understand format. I'm a Canadian that's been living abroad since 2020 so my husband and I are classified as non-residents in Canada. We have LIRA, RRSP and TFSAs with Questrade and although it's not ideal contributing to the RRSP when we aren't making income in Canada, I believe that's really our only option (so long as there's RRSP contribution room). I don't believe we're allowed to contribute to a TFSA as a non-resident and a LIRA would also be off the table.

Thank you, Claire :) Living abroad definitely complicates what you can do with your Canadian registered accounts. No doubt. Here’s a solid article from RBC that can help you navigate it: ca.rbcwealthmanagement.com/delegate/services/file/124406/content

Thank you again for a great video. My husband and I we are near retirement with 2 years apart, but we still have mortgage on the house with quite high rate at the moment since we renew the mortgage close 5 y variable. I like to ask you if I can move money from RRSP into TFSA in the intention to make extra payments in the mortgage. It is this possible instead to take money out from RRSP directly,which I don’t want to do that for obvious reason. Thank you and your videos are very much appreciated.

Thank you :) And I wish! But unfortunately, you can’t transfer from an RRSP to a TFSA. Sorry 😞

Hi Rhys! My accounting teacher was going over TFSA's and I wasn't really sure if he was correct, hoping you can help clarify. Consider that the ceiling is $10,000 instead of the $90k or whatever it is now. So I put in $10,000, max it out. Next year nothing gets added to the contribution room (for examples sake), so its still max $10k. My investments grow from $10k to $15k, and I withdraw $15k. He said the next year (where the ceiling doesn't change), I now have $15k contribution room. So he's saying that you can basically balloon your ceiling if you take out above and beyond the ceiling. So for example you buy a stock for $50,000 and you hit the jackpot and its now worth $500,000. You withdraw it, and the following calendar year after withdrawal, the ceiling of your TFSA is now $500,000. I don't believe this to be true, but he's the accountant, not me 😂. Can you confirm if this is correct?

Great video. But one thing I was looking for which you didn’t cover was how do withdrawals affect your limit. If your limit is $88,000 and let’s say you have deposited a total of $50,000 from 2009 till date. Now let’s assume, your $50,000 has grown to $60,000 over the years. Now let’s say you withdraw $50,000, leaving $10,000 in the account. Now what is your remaining room? It is $88,000 or $78,000?

@wellbuiltwealth 10 ай бұрын

Great point. I’ll have to make another video on that. I’ll put it in the queue :)
