An RRSP allows you to make tax-deductible contributions to the plan in the years prior to retirement; whereas, an RRIF allows you to make withdrawals from the plan to provide income during retirement. RRIF is an investment vehicle that provides you with regular income during your retirement while still allowing tax-sheltered capital growth. It is also an effective and flexible way to withdraw cash from investments formerly held in your RRSP.

Bonds may be purchased within The Canada RSP online. The Canada RIF option, however, is only available at financial institutions.

The only assets that could be transferred from an RESP to an RRSP are those that would qualify as an AIP (income earned on contributions, CESG, enhanced CESG, CLB and on ACES). The requirements for the payment of an AIP, specified in the first paragraph of section 7, would have to be met before such transfer would be permitted. The amount that would be permitted to be transferred would be limited to the lesser of the amount of accumulated contribution room in the RRSP and $50,000.

There is a growing awareness of the tax liability on the sale of registered (RRSP and RRIF) assets at death.

Prior to making any decisions regarding the disposition of your assets, it is best to receive legal and/or financial counseling. Your local AAA can help you locate trained individuals in your community.

A rollover is when your existing IRA custodian issues a check to you (this can only be done once a year). A transfer of assets is when your funds are sent directly between custodians.  To avoid income tax and a penalty tax on the rollover, you have 60 days from the date you receive your rollover check to invest the assets in another qualified IRA plan. There are no time constraints when you transfer assets directly between IRA custodians.

Once your trust has been signed, a very important task remains to be accomplished. In order to achieve your objectives of avoidance of court-supervised conservatorship proceedings if you are incapacitated or probate at your death, assets must be transferred to the trustee of the living trust. As discussed above, this is known as "funding" the trust. A living trust can hold both separate and community property. If community property is held in a living trust, then both spouses are the grantors.

A transfer is the movement of funds between like accounts such as movement from one Traditional IRA to another Traditional IRA. Transfers can take place as often as you like and are not reported to the IRS because you never take possession of your money. A rollover is the movement of funds between one eligible retirement plan and another such as movement from a 401(k) to a Traditional IRA. All distributions are reported to the IRS and may be subject to federal income tax.

RRSP, or Registered Retirement Savings Plan is a government approved plan in which you save money for your retirement. Your contributions, within limits, are tax deductible, and the income earned is tax sheltered.

Existing RRSP holders are eligible to convert this investment into an RRIF at any time. When you turn 69 years old, however, you must convert your RRSP into one of the following retirement income options: an RRIF, cash withdrawal, life annuity, or fixed-term annuity. You can also choose any combination of these options to meet your needs.

When you select the RRIF option you transfer your RRSP savings to The Canada RIF. You can transfer the proceeds from another RRSP or RRIF to The Canada RIF to purchase compound interest Canada Savings Bonds (the CSB and the CPB) during any sales campaign. The minimum purchase amount within The Canada RIF is $500 per series whereas the maximum ownership amount is $500,000 per series.

The "look back period" rule prevents you from giving away assets, and then qualifying you immediately for benefits.
