Make an RRSP Withdrawal

You can withdraw funds from your RRSP before it starts to pay you a retirement income. Funds withdrawn from an RRSP will be charged withholding taxes. This amount must be held back by Outlook Financial and remitted to the government on your behalf. 

If your spouse or common-law partner contributed to your RRSP, see the Government of Canada webpage, Withdrawing from spousal or common-law partner RRSPs.

• Complete and submit our online Registered Retirement Savings Plan Withdrawal Form.

Important Notes:

• Fixed GICs are not eligible for early redemption and must remain invested until the expiry of the selected term.
• Your withdrawal request will be completed within 1 business day of receipt. Log in to online banking to verify your withdrawal.
