Labour funds offer a tax credit of 15% extra in addition to being eligible for an RRSP deduction.

 

The federal and provincial grant you a tax credit for each additional 15% when you invest in a labour fund.

Therefore, if you get 40% tax return on an investment in an RRSP you can receive up to 70% of your investment. You just have to invest in these funds from your RRSP.

The maximum allowed is $ 5,000.

Invest the tax return of your Labour Fund

You plan to invest the maximum $ 5,000. After verification you know that you will receive $ 2,000 (eg 40% tax rate) back tax on this amount. Plus $ 1,500 (2 times 15%).

Upon receipt of $ 3,500 ($ 2,000 + $ 1,500) you invest in an RRSP.

Your total portfolio is $ 8,500 for an initial investment of $ 5,000 or 70% more.

Combine strategy and Loan Labour Fund

Push to the limit the above reasoning. Example, you plan to also return the $ 3,500 tax you borrow too, etc. ...

The simple method to calculate the maximum that you can do is the following. You decide to invest $ 3,500. Your tax return is 40% of your investment.

Invest a total amount calculated as follows:

cash (60%) + Loan (40%) = Total (100%)

or

$ 5,000 (60%) + $ 3,333 (40%) = $ 8,333 (100%).

 

Make new calculations by substituting cash for the tax credit of 30%:

Credit of 30% (60%) + Loan (40%) = Total (100%)

or

$ 1,500 (60%) + $ 1000 (40%) = $ 2,500 (100%).

Result

You acquired an RRSP of $ 10.833.

(RRSP of $ 5,000 in a Labour Fund, and an RRSP of $ 5.833 ($ 3.333 + $ 2.500) at a financial institution).

You receive a tax refund of $ 5.833 that you use to repay your loan to $ 5.833.

($ 10.833 = $ 4.333, or 40% over $ 7.583 $ 1.500, or 30% of credits)

You must also pay interest of approximately $ 50.

Caution: This calculation gives you the maximum example. 
Check your tax return percentage. By increasing your RRSP contributions you reduce your taxable income. Your reality may be less interesting than this example above.

Conclusion

By carefully choosing your scenario you can expand your portfolio tax free significantly.

This scenario provides an RRSP much more important than the mere investment of $ 5,000.
