Even though the RRSP deadline has passed, your contribution room didn’t disappear.
Unused RRSP room carries forward indefinitely. That means you have flexibility.
Some years it makes sense to contribute heavily. Other years it may make sense to wait. This is where tax planning becomes personal.
If your income is rising, your future tax bracket may be higher.
If retirement is closer, the strategy shifts again.
RRSPs are not just about refunds. They are about timing, tax brackets, and long-term income planning. Tax season is when we review the bigger picture, not just last year.
