Soo, if the lifetime contribution limit remains at $50,000 I've got twenty years of $2,500 contributions and a cumulative $10,000 of matching potential?
Well no, the maximum CESG is $7,200 per lifetime and that amount was calculated on the "old" limit of $2000 per year contribution max and the 20% of that for 18 years. I haven't seen anything that has increased that amount, even since 2007 when they increased this annual amount to $2500/$500 for the grant. So basically once you hit that $7200 you aren't going to get more CESG.
