A receipt for the eligible portion is required. Ask your bank for the receipt. If you are signed up for My Account with CRA, you can also look for RRSP contribution receipts listed at “Tax information slips (T4 and more)” under Related Services. CRA My Account only displays the slips CRA has received and processed. For missing or incorrect slips, you must contact the issuer of the slip.
Once your missing RRSP contribution receipt is resolved, it is correct to report the eligible portion as a designated transfer and then declare the full amount of the retirement allowance (deposited to your RRSP) as contributions.
