An account like no other

TFSAs are accounts in which deposits can grow tax-free. New in 2019: the annual contribution limit is now $6,000! Can't make the maximum contribution? Not to worry! You can roll over this contribution room year to year.

Let's say you deposit $2,800 in your TFSA in 2019. The $3,200 difference will be added to the $6,000 limit next year. You will therefore be able to contribute $9,200, and so on. Over the years, you can save a lot!

And, if you've never contributed to a TFSA before, you can invest up to $63,500 in 2019!
