Any individual (other than a trust) who is resident in Canada, is 18 years of age or older, and has a valid SIN, is eligible to establish a TFSA.
Each year individuals can contribute an amount up to their contribution room for the year. Your contribution room would be made up of three amounts:
A TFSA is permitted to hold the same investments as a registered retirement savings plan. This includes mutual funds, GICs, fixed income investments and certain shares of small business corporations.
The CRA will determine TFSA contribution room (based on information provided by issuers) for each eligible individual who files an annual T1 individual income tax return.
