Q: The scenario:
Age 68
RRSP contribution room of $18K
Income (80%) and investment (20%) tax payable for 2021 about $80K
If contribute $18K to the RRSP, tax payable drops by $10K
The tax on RRSP / RRIF withdrawl begins age 71
Available cash for next 7-10 years
To save $10K now based on putting aside $18K to be taxed later seems like a good deal.
The same scenario applies for the following year, with about $25K anticipated new contribution room
Does this look to be a reasonable approach ?
Are there other major considerations I have missed?
Thank you for your views.

Q: Hi. I hold a considerable amount in CDZ and none of VCN. My thinking is that through CDZ I have large Canadian companies that raise their dividend but VCN may offer more diversity at the expense of income. I do like the dividends and concentration of CDZ. Would you stay with CDZ or shift some funds to VCN?
