A comparison table showing common Canadian investment accounts and how they differ by purpose, tax treatment, contribution limits, and withdrawal rules.
Registered accounts such as the TFSA, RRSP, RRIF, FHSA, RESP, and RDSP each offer some form of government incentive, either through tax advantages or government grants. The non‑registered account does not provide government benefits and is fully taxable.
This description summarizes the structure and main purpose of the table to help users understand how the accounts differ in terms of tax treatment, government support, and flexibility.
