short term its good for income balancing--say you make $70k one year and $30k the next-- buy an rrsp on the high year and sell on the low year-- long term rrsp suck-- the government kills you at the end with taxes and they constantly change the rules---- alternative methods are borrow to buy a revenue property-- and live in it---write off the interest and all expenses (proportional)

Can rrsp's be garnished due to a civil suit?

Registered Retirement Savings Plans The courts have held that where funds are deposited in an RRSP, a trust relationship, and not a debtor-creditor relationship, is created between the bank and its customer.

There is a case of the Federal Court of Canada Trial Division which has come to the opposite conclusion, but it would appear that the weight of authority provides that RRSPs are not attachable until he owner of the RRSP actually collapses it.Source: http://www.scarfonehawkinsllp.com/faq_details.asp?faq_id=1004
