As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), these are amounts you contributed to your own RRSP, PRPP, or SPP or to an RRSP or SPP for your spouse or common-law partner after 1990 but did not deduct on line 208, (prior to 2019) or 20800 (after 2018), of any previous income tax and benefit return, or designate as an HBP or LLP repayment.

I have the same question about RPP undeducted contributions carried forwarded but your answer is for undeducted contribution of RRSP, SPP, etc.
The portion of RPP which you contributed to in the past would have been included on an RRSP information slip and entered as such in your past return. Deductions can only be done from prior RRSP contribution entries. You may be able to review your previous available contributions by going into your MyAccount at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
In order to help you with this situation and to clarify what you are seeing in your carry-forward contributions, we believe your best option is to contact our telephone support team for further assistance, as they have the option to view your screen to help resolve the issue.
