Principal Issues: Any problem in non-resident using RRSP funds to provide a mortgage?
Position: Can't tell what the issue is (e.g., is it non-residency, the particular mortgage, lack of "earned income" to contribute to RRSP).
Reasons: Referred to IT-320R2 commentary on mortgages and directed to RPDivision if non-residency of annuitant was the issue.

For your future reference and as I advised in my voice mail messages of July 27, 31 and August 8, 2000, we are unable to provide an advance income tax ruling except in response to a request submitted in the form described in Information Circular IC 70-6R3. Copies of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency publications and forms are available at the following internet site: http://www/ccra-adrc.gc.ca/formspubs/menu-e.html. If your question relates to the use of funds in a registered retirement savings plan to provide a mortgage, please refer to Interpretation Bulletin IT-320R2 (Registered Retirement Savings Plans - Qualified Investments) at paragraphs 9 and 10.
If your question relates to the ability of a non-resident to acquire a registered retirement savings plan, please contact the Registered Plans Division by telephone at 613-954-0419 or by facsimile at 613-952-0199.
