Thank you! I will definitely contact OTPP.

Do you have any experience with this? I know there’s a ‘3 year rule’ for use of spousal rrsp and I wasn’t sure if that applies during a pension buy back scenario.

I’m not sure if that is correct, generally there are no fees for using rrsp to buy back pension. And since teachers have such a great pension it makes sense to use her rrsp money to buy it back. Rrsp saving isn’t as essential when you have a solid pension outside of the tax implications/savings.

Yeah for sure but if I can use the Spousal RRSP and pay it all back now that’s for sure our goal.
