The percentage of Canadians who plan on contributing to their RRSP before the deadline at the end of next month is down slightly from last year, according to a poll issued by the Bank of Montreal.
However, the survey found that those who have already contributed and those who are still planning to add to their retirement savings are putting aside a little more than last year.
