Can I win by shifting funds from my RRSP to my TFSA?

When nearly everything you've saved sits in an RRSP and there's no fresh money for a TFSA, it's natural to wonder whether shuffling funds from one to the other is a smart move. This piece works through that idea. The catch is that money coming out of an RRSP is taxable, so a withdrawal made just to top up a TFSA has a real cost attached, and whether it pays off depends on your tax rate now versus later and what you expect down the road. It's the kind of question where the answer turns on the details rather than a blanket yes or no. The piece helps frame the thinking, weighing the lasting tax-free benefit of a TFSA against the tax bill triggered by emptying part of an RRSP. It's a relevant read for anyone whose savings are lopsided toward registered retirement money.
