Know your limits
All Canadians aged 18 and over can contribute up to $6,0001 annually, as a combined total of TFSAs held at all institutions.
If you've never contributed to a TFSA, and you were eligible to contribute since they were introduced in 2009, you can contribute a total of up to $69,500, which means all of your unused contributions since 2009 carry over.
Watch those contributions! If you over-contribute, you’ll be penalized 1% on the excess every month, until you withdraw it.
If you want to replace money you’ve withdrawn, you’ll have to wait until the following year to regain the contribution room.
