RRIFs
Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF)
While RRSPs help you save for retirement, RRIFs are used to withdraw income during retirement. You’re not allowed to make contributions to RRIFs and you’re required to make minimum withdrawals each year. Even though you cannot contribute to a RRIF, your investments continue to grow tax-deferred inside the RRIF until withdrawn.
