Investment Q&A

Q: Largely predicated on your guidance that the Canadian economy will likely grow at a slower pace - at least over the short term - than its US counterpart, I have filled up my TFSA and RSP with individual US stocks, XEF and VFV, while placing Canadian dividend-paying stocks in my cash account. Can you please comment on the tax implications of placing Canadian .UN stock (eg/ KWH.UN) in my cash account? (I understand these stocks are better placed in a registered account, but I have no room.) Can you also explain how the Foreign Tax Credit works and - in particular - the circumstances under which it can be claimed?

Many thanks,

Maureen

I have 30+ years and use any drips available. I already own bns as well. Do you know if anything that presents major issues or headwinds for them?
