A RRIF is basically a continuation of your RRSP beyond the age of 71, with the exception that you must begin to receive taxable income. In the year you turn 71 our RRIF specialist will call you to discuss your RRSP options.
You may choose any payment amount you wish, as long as it satisfies the mandatory minimum amount. The benefit of a RRIF (unlike an annuity) is that they are extremely flexible and remain under your control. Payments can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
Your RRIF can be invested for terms of one, two, three, four, or five years with the interest compounded annually.
