The so-called TFSA number is often viewed by Canadian investors as that “magic number” or milestone one needs to hit before even thinking about hitting that retirement button. Indeed, for those who were of age when the TFSA was started and have been making the full contribution (it varies depending on the year) without missing a beat, one might already be past the $100,000 mark.

In this guide, we’ll compare Nextiva vs. Dialpad across…
