What is T1036?
T1036, Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) Request to Withdraw Funds from an RRSP, lets an eligible first-time home buyer take money out of their registered retirement savings plan without it being taxed, as long as it is repaid to the RRSP over the required period. The plan is meant to help you buy or build a qualifying home for yourself or a related person with a disability.

Do I send the T1036 to the CRA?
No. You give the completed form to your RRSP issuer, who fills in their section and releases the funds. You do not mail it to the CRA, but keep your copy because the withdrawal must be repaid to your RRSP over the required period.
How much can I withdraw under the Home Buyers' Plan?
There is a maximum HBP withdrawal amount set by the CRA, and it has changed over time. Check the current withdrawal limit on the CRA Home Buyers' Plan page before you complete the form.
