What is the LLP?
The Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) empowers students to withdraw up to $10,000 annually from their RRSPs for financing full-time training or education for themselves or their spouse/common-law partner. However, the program doesn’t cover the education or training of children. The total withdrawal limit under the LLP is $20,000, and participants can make withdrawals until January of the fourth calendar year following their initial LLP withdrawal.
Key LLP Highlights:
- Participation: Only the individual or their spouse/common-law partner’s education can be financed through LLP. It’s not applicable for children’s education.
- Withdrawal Limit: Up to $10,000 can be withdrawn in a single calendar year, with a total limit of $20,000.
- Repayments: Any amounts withdrawn must be repaid to the RRSP under the LLP’s conditions.
- Cancellation: If a participant is no longer enrolled, leaves the educational program, or becomes a non-resident, certain conditions and deadlines apply.
- Enrollment Offer: There are specific dates by which a student must have received an offer to enroll in a program to qualify for LLP withdrawals.
