Cashing in an RRSP with the lowest tax

QUESTION:

David, Is there a way to cash in my RRSP to avoid some of the taxes?

Thanks,

Max

1.   you can take it out in a low income year

2.   you can buy flow through shares or movie deals which are risky

3.   you can roll the money into an RRIF and take ouot $2,000 a year tax free after age 65

4.   you can leave Canada and take it out a a maximum rate of 25%

5.   you can use an RRSP drain technique where you borrow to buy an equivalent amount of funds outside of an RRSP and use the interest as a deduction. You withdraw enough out of the RRSP to pay the interest on the loan and thereby 'drain' the money out of the RRSP. After a while, the money outside of the RRSP equals what was in the RRSP. �
