TFSAs come in many forms, from simple savings accounts to GICs and other investments. You can hold almost any type of investment in your TFSA that you can hold in an RRSP, including mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, publicly-traded securities and even some private company shares. You can hold foreign funds and securities in a TFSA as well.
