Key Dates & Limits

The numbers and dates you look up once a year and can never quite remember — the 2026 contribution limits and every CRA tax deadline, in one place, sourced and kept current.

Contribution limits and tax deadlines move every year, and the pages you find them on often don't keep up — a bank's TFSA article still quoting last year's number, a blog with a filing date that shifted because it fell on a weekend. This section exists to be the current version: each figure here is checked against the CRA's own page and re-verified every January when the new numbers land. Two references sit under it.

2026 Contribution Limits

TFSA, RRSP (limit and deadline), FHSA, RESP and its grant, plus the CPP and EI maximums — the current number for each, with the rule behind it and a link to the calculator it feeds.

2026 Tax Deadlines

Every date for your 2025 return — filing, payment, the self-employed extension, the RRSP cut-off, and the four instalment dates — with how many days are left until the next one.
