The currently proposed plan is that starting April 2023, the new Tax-Free First Home Savings Account will allow Canadians who are at least 18 to save up to $40,000 for their first home. If eligible, you can contribute up to $8,000 each year to the account but (and there's always a but, right?) you have to use these funds within 15 years of first opening an FHSA or before you turn 71 (whichever is earlier), otherwise the account would have to be closed.
