Frequently Asked Questions

When must I convert RRSP to RRIF?
You must convert your RRSP to a RRIF by December 31 of the year you turn 71. You can convert earlier if you wish.
Do I have to withdraw the minimum?
Yes, you must withdraw at least the minimum each year. You can withdraw more, but the minimum is mandatory and taxed as income.
Why do withdrawal rates increase with age?
The government designed RRIF minimums to gradually deplete the fund during your lifetime. Rates increase each year to ensure the money is drawn down and taxed.
