Withdrawing in the Wrong Order? CRA Takes More Than It Should.

RRSPs convert to a RRIF by age 71, and the order you draw from your accounts can change how much tax you pay. A free review shows you what most people miss.

Private tax planning matching service. We review your general situation and connect you with a licensed CPA or financial planner for a personalized withdrawal strategy. Nothing is required.

Why the order matters

1 RRSP must convert to a RRIF by the end of the year you turn 71 — minimum withdrawals begin the following year.

2 Withdrawing from the wrong account first can push you into a higher tax bracket sooner than necessary.

! Combined with CPP and OAS income, poor sequencing can also trigger OAS clawback — repaying part of a benefit you're otherwise entitled to.

This is general information, not personalized advice. A licensed CPA or financial planner can review your specific numbers.

Common questions

Answered clearly

Do I need to share my account number or SIN?

No. We never ask for account numbers, your Social Insurance Number, or banking details — not in the form, not in any follow-up call. We only ask about your general situation and a rough range.

Is this personalized financial or tax advice?

No. This service provides general educational information and connects you with a licensed CPA or financial planner who can give you personalized advice based on your full financial picture.

What is OAS clawback?

The Old Age Security (OAS) pension is reduced once your net income exceeds a threshold set by the CRA each year. Poor withdrawal sequencing from RRSPs or RRIFs can push your income over that threshold, triggering a partial repayment. A CPA can help you plan around this.

How do you make money if the guide is free?

If you choose to work with a CPA or financial planner we connect you with, we may receive a referral fee from that professional. This does not add to any fee you'd pay them directly.

What if I don't have an RRSP yet?

This guide is most useful for those with existing RRSP, pension, or retirement savings. If that's not you yet, the general guide can still help you understand how these accounts work for future planning.
