The First Time Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) allows an individual to withdraw up to $25, 000 from Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) to build or purchase a qualifying home for him or herself – As a First Time Home Buyer. Individuals may still be considered eligible as a First Time Home Buyer if you only owned a rental property or have not recently owned a home of your own.
HBP is known as a temporary loan drawn from your RRSP and must be paid back within 15 years or it will be added to your taxable income.
