How to Find your TFSA & RSP Contribution Room

*** Please note: If you are checking your contribution room in the first few months of a new year, the CRA will not be up-to-date for the previous year’s transactions. Therefore if you have made contributions or withdrawals in the current or previous calendar year, you may need to adjust for these until the CRA has updated these details. This is typically done in April each year
