You can't buy real estate proper inside your RRSP, but you can buy securities that represent real estate. There are lots of companies that sell these. Be very careful though and do your due diligence. Look up Concrete Equities and learn from that fiasco.
One other thing to note is that these shares are highly illiquid. Unless you're buying REIT shares that are trading on the TSX you may have a hard time selling your shares if you all of a sudden need cash.
