Need a duplicate copy of your RRSP contribution receipt? We'll be happy to provide you with one. Just send us a secure email through the Online Banking Message Centre with the details, or call us any time at 1-800-463-3863, and we'll take care of it for you.

Make a withdrawal

Although you can withdraw money from your RRSP before you retire, it's not recommended because you will have to pay taxes on the withdrawal and it will have a negative impact on your retirement plan. Withdrawals must be declared as income on your tax return at the end of the year and withholding tax will also be deducted at source from the amount withdrawn.

If you do decide you would like to withdraw from your RRSP, you can do so in several ways:

  • Call us any time at 1-800-463-3863. We'll be happy to help you.
  • Visit your branch. We recommend calling 1-800-769-2511 to make an appointment.
  • If the money is held in an RRSP Savings Deposit or is available in a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC), we can also process your withdrawal if you send a secure email, including the details, through the Online Banking Message Centre.
