Frequently asked questions regarding transfers between accounts
How do I move money from a TFSA to an RSP account?
You cannot directly move funds from a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) to an Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RSP). First, you must submit a withdrawal to investment account request, which will withdraw the funds from the TFSA to the associated Cash account.
Once that request is completed, you can submit a request to contribute to the RSP account from the cash account.
