You have the option to set up monthly contributions that are automatically withdrawn from your bank account each month on the 15th. You can also take advantage of the plan's unique auto-escalation feature, which lets you commit in advance to a scheduled series of contribution increases to keep up with annual inflation rates and income growth.
If you've joined the plan through a participating employer, this is an opportunity for you to make contributions on top of your payroll contributions via your bank account. Additional contributions can be made by initiating a one-time lump sum contribution, transferring funds from an existing TFSA or RRSP, or setting up a monthly recurring contribution.
