Your contribution room for any year is based on 18% of your previous year's income, up to an annual cap + any unused room.
That means you can always contribute to your RRSPs later, with 2 catches.
These accounts have the most generous rules when it comes to carry-forwards.
Your room is calculated as the annual maximum + any unused room since the year you turned 18 + any withdrawals made the prior year with no maximum age of contribution.
Assuming you qualify, the limit on this account is 8k/year up to 40k lifetime.
You are allowed to catch up on missed room up to 1 year per year.
