Date Posted: February 14, 2012

With two weeks left to make RRSP contributions, many Canadians are grappling with the tough decision of where to invest their contributions. Many take the traditional route and invest in GICs, stocks or bonds. However, the Financial Post shows that the funds from your RRSPs can be invested in your mortgage.

It is important when considering an investment of this nature to know that it comes with a set of strict regulations. One should also bear in mind the costs involved, such as mortgage administration fees and insurance premiums.

Investment options aren't always easy to choose, however, this article gives relevant information on an option that could prove to be a lucrative one.
