hi bow2u, I have already done it. I already bought the 5k worth in my TFSA of SLI. I already topped up the rest of the TFSA,s from other RSP accounts but have to have that cash sitting in the RSP account BY the settlement date.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, and so far its working.

This was done through RBC.

If you had 5k cash to buy stock with, you could have bought it in your TFSA yesterday because these trades would not be settled until Jan 4th.

I thought I posted all the info in about 8 consecutive posts on how to do this, but maybe I missed putting some info there.
