We pay the government only what we have to and at the end of the year we always owe some amount of money.

How long does it take for them to process usually if I just drop it off at the tax center? Is it possible for me to: 1) Submit the T1213 with proof that i contributed one huge lump sum of money (Initial RRSP account opening) using EFT transfers (maxing out my RRSP deduction limit for 2008) to a RRSP account this month (July) and they'll figure out how to deduct taxes from each paycheque for the rest of the year and/or 2) Use EFT from my Bank to the RRSP Account and have some sort of print out / proof of that to show I am contributing regularly (monthly or whatever) Thanks It’s almost end of july and I want to submit a T1213 form for the rest of 2008.
