How to withdraw from my RRSP without paying tax?

1. Home Buyers' Plan (HBP): You can withdraw up to CA$35,000 tax-free to buy or build your first home, but you must repay it over 15 years.
2. Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP): You can withdraw up to CA$10,000 per year (up to CA$20,000 total) for education or training for you or your spouse, with a repayment period of 10 years.

What is a Spousal RRSP?

A Spousal RRSP allows one spouse to contribute to an RRSP in the other spouse's name, giving the contributor a tax deduction. This approach helps with income splitting in retirement, potentially lowering the couple's overall tax burden by balancing retirement income between the spouses.
