Home Buyers Program This program offers down payment programs via an RRSP where you can withdraw up to $25,000, completely tax free, towards the down payment of your new home. The full amount will be paid back by you, into your RRSP within 15 years of the withdrawal. If you have a spouse, they can also withdraw up to $25,000 as well to go towards a mutual home down payment, so a couple can withdraw a total of $50,000 from their RRSP. You need to have good credit score, you have to qualify through your bank or mortgage broker but it’s an excellent way to get into your new home if you do have good credit. Your RRSP also has to be opened for at least 90 days prior to withdrawing with the home buyers program.
