Fat chance for RIF to have no clawbacks when the government is cutting down on OAS/GIS. There're a couple of high risk RRSP melt down strategies available if you have a large RRSP account. I've studied a few but it's kind of useless to plan it now when the RRSP rules could change by a lot when I retire.
