The Difference Between TFSAs and RRSPs
-The main difference between TFSAs and RRSPs is access: you can invest in and withdraw from a TFSA with near total freedom, while an RRSP is much more limited.
-TFSAs have a lower contribution limit than RRSPs, however both have very specific contribution limits.
-A TFSA are more of an investment account than a traditional savings account.
-You can only contribute cash savings to an RRSP.
Contributions to RRSPs are tax-deductible.
-A TFSA is a great option if you think you may need access to the funds before you retire.
-You cannot (in most circumstances) invest or withdraw your RRSP funds until age 55
