Redeeming shares after 7 years

Once you've held your shares for at least 7 years, you can opt to keep them or you can redeem them if you no longer wish to take advantage of the tax credit related to buying new shares or making an exchange.

Minimum holding period and consequences of redeeming shares

The minimum required holding period for CRCD shares is seven years to the day from the date of purchase. For that reason, buying the share should be considered a long-term investment.


When you ask to redeem shares after the mandatory seven-year holding period, you can no longer claim a tax credit for the current tax year or any subsequent tax year, either for buying more shares or making a share exchange.

So, if you ask to redeem your shares during the 2020 issue, you will not be able to claim the tax credit for the 2020 tax year and subsequent years.


At the date your shares become eligible to redeem, you can opt to keep them or to redeem them.

A caisse advisor can help you make your decision based on your investment profile and your plans.
