FAQs

Get in touch with your bank or financial institution where your TFSA is held. They'll likely ask you to fill out a form to specify how much you want to withdraw and where you want the money to go. You can withdraw money from your TFSA at any time without tax consequences.

You can have multiple TFSA accounts, but the total contributions must not exceed your contribution room.

TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) began in 2009 as a savings vehicle with tax-free growth.

You can check your TFSA contribution room through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website.

You can open a TFSA account with the help of our Advisors at Top Choice Insurance or  through banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions.
