Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF)
A registered retirement income fund (RRIF)
acts as an extension of a registered
retirement savings plan (RRSP). ). It allows you to utilize the amounts
you accumulated throughout your working life: you periodically
withdraw a portion of your savings and the balance continues to accumulate
on a tax-sheltered basis.
|

their RRSPs as a source of income.
