With the RRSP deadline just around the corner I’m sure your personal banker or advisor is reminding you to make your contributions. Just make sure you know your limits and options to avoid over contribution penalties. All your contribution till March 1st can be used to reduce your income from 2012. Happy RRSPing!
February is a busy month, besides RRSP deadline it also marks the beginning of tax season, I recommend TurboTax if you want to do your own taxes. Check out our tax centre for more tax tips and discounts on tax software.

Thanks for the mention!
Thanks a lot for including me this week.
Thanks for mentioning a CBB post and for sharing the tax discounts. Cheers
Thanks for the mention! I definitely need to make a few more RRSP contributions before the deadline, better get on that.
No chance of me going over my RRSP contribution limit. I contributed less than 3k this year. I have so much contribution room accumulated that I could put all of my 2013 income in there and I would still have room left over.
Thank you for mentioning one of my posts this week. It is much apprectiated.
