3. You can't buy more than $2000 over your RRSP deduction limit each year, or you will be penalized (having to pay tax on the extra amount that you buy).

YOU CAN WITHDRAW LESS THAN $20K FROM YOUR ANY RRSP ACCOUNT EXCEPT FROM THE LOCK-IN RSP ACCOUNT WHICH WAS CONTRIBUTED BY YOUR EMPLOYER TO PENSION PLANS AND TRANSFERRED TO YOUR LOCK-IN RRSP WHEN YOU CHANGED EMPLOYMENT).
