Within your TFSA, any unused contribution room is carried forward to future years such that the cumulative limit for someone who has never contributed may be as high as $69,500.

As noted in previous years, the TFSA is a great place to grow your savings, as well as excess retirement earnings.
All interest, dividends and capital gains collected within your TFSA account are tax-free.

Unlike the RRSP/RRIF, you may continue to contribute to your TFSA even if you are drawing on your Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF). If you need to withdraw funds from your TFSA, you may contribute any past withdrawals in the following calendar year.
