previous year, up to an annual dollar limit, less contributions made to the DPSP which are reflected as a PA
(Pension Adjustment), plus any unused RRSP room from previous years. This amount represents the total

available, the maximum contribution to an RRSP in 2015 is $24,930.

limit. To find out what your 2015 contribution room is, please refer to your Tax Assessment issued annually
