Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You must not have owned a home that you lived in as a principal residence in the current year or the previous four calendar years. If you owned a home with an ex-spouse but haven't owned one in 4+ years, you qualify again. Both you and your spouse/partner must be first-time buyers if you both want to withdraw.
RRSP contributions must be in your account for at least 90 days before you can withdraw them under the HBP. If you contribute and withdraw within 90 days, you won't get the tax deduction for that contribution. Plan ahead โ€” contribute early in the year before you expect to buy.
If you don't make the minimum annual repayment (1/15th of the original withdrawal), the shortfall is added to your taxable income for that year. For example, if your required repayment is $4,000 and you repay only $2,500, the remaining $1,500 is treated as RRSP income and taxed at your marginal rate. There's no penalty beyond this added tax.
