A successful direct mail campaign absolutely depends on how regular and consistent your mailings are.

Thanks to the tax treaty between Canada and the U.S., Uncle Sam will refrain from taxing U.S. dividend income received inside an RRSP (or RRIF, for that matter). But that doesn’t extend to TFSAs. You’ll be dinged with a 15 percent tax deducted at source for dividends paid on U.S. stocks held in a TFSA. You don’t have to worry about interest income or capital gains from U.S. stocks, though. The tax treaty guarantees those are only taxable in Canada, which means they’re tax-free in a TFSA. [2021] - Erica Alini
