Why Open an RRSP with Wealthsimple?
A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) lets you invest money and deduct contributions from your taxable income. You only pay tax when you withdraw in retirement — typically at a lower rate.
Wealthsimple offers RRSP accounts with $0 commissions, access to thousands of stocks and ETFs, fractional shares, and automatic rebalancing. The $25 referral bonus is applied to whichever account you open first.

RRSP Referral FAQ
Can I use a referral code when opening a Wealthsimple RRSP?
Yes. Referral code XVJHLJ works when opening any Wealthsimple account including an RRSP. You must deposit $100 from an external bank account within 30 days to qualify for the $25 bonus.
Does the $25 referral bonus count as an RRSP contribution?
This depends on how Wealthsimple classifies the credit. If it counts as income deposited to your RRSP, it may count against your RRSP contribution room. Contact Wealthsimple support or a tax professional to confirm the exact treatment.

WealthPerks Insight
A Wealthsimple RRSP opened with a referral code gives you a $25 bonus on top of the immediate tax deduction — making it a strong choice for Canadians with earned income and unused RRSP room.
The RRSP is most valuable to Canadians in a high tax bracket now who expect to be in a lower bracket in retirement. Wealthsimple's managed RRSP portfolios (Wealthsimple Invest) make it accessible to users who are not yet comfortable selecting their own investments.
Best For
- Employed Canadians with earned income and RRSP room
- Users in higher tax brackets seeking the RRSP deduction
- People approaching retirement who want a managed portfolio
- Users switching from high-MER RRSP mutual funds at their bank
May Not Be Ideal If
- Users who have not maximized their TFSA first (TFSA is usually the priority for most Canadians)
- Existing Wealthsimple RRSP holders
- Users whose income is too low to benefit meaningfully from the RRSP deduction
