A CLEARER WAY TO COMPARE

What to look at before choosing

Plans can differ in important ways. Read the policy wording, confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements, and ask questions about terms that affect your situation.

  • Explore TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RRIF, GIC, and GIF options
  • Compare access, terms, fees, guarantees, and risks before selecting an underlying product
  • Check current eligibility and contribution or withdrawal rules with CRA and the issuer

A PRACTICAL BUYER CHECKLIST

Compare the account and the investment inside it

An account type and the investment held in it are separate choices. Confirm your eligibility and current room, then review the product's terms, costs, access, and risk disclosures.

01

Goal and timeline: clarify when you may need the money and what the account is intended to support.

02

Account rules: compare TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, and RRIF eligibility, contribution or transfer rules, and withdrawals using current CRA information.

03

Underlying product: ask what a GIC or GIF holds, how its term works, and when you can access the funds.

04

Costs and guarantees: request all fees and penalties in writing, and confirm exactly what is guaranteed, by whom, and under which contract.

05

Risk and tax treatment: review investment risk, account tax rules, and the effects of contributions or withdrawals for your situation.

06

Provider and advice: identify the institution and verify the advisor's authorization for your province before opening or transferring an account.

General information only, not investment, tax, or legal advice. Account eligibility, room, fees, withdrawal rules, guarantees, risks, and tax outcomes depend on current rules and specific products. Verify details with CRA, the issuer, and your province-authorized advisor before acting. Content checked October 20, 2026.
