Can I use my RRIF for the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)?

No, you cannot use your RRIF for the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP). Only RRSPs are eligible for HBP withdrawals.

Important information:

  • RRSP requirement: The Home Buyers' Plan allows eligible individuals to withdraw up to $60,000 from their RRSP to purchase or build a qualifying home, but this option is not available for RRIFs
  • Timing consideration: If you are planning to use the HBP, you must do so before converting your RRSP to a RRIF
  • RRIF purpose: RRIFs are designed specifically to provide retirement income and have different rules and restrictions than RRSPs
