First home purchase? Open up a First Home Savings Account (FHSA). You get the benefits of an RRSP with a tax deduction on contributions for your tax return and the benefits of a TFSA with no tax on withdrawal as long as it's for a first home purchase.
I think there are some redeemable GICs that were paying almost 5% annual interest last month, maybe less now. You could probably hold those within the FHSA. Talk to someone about the right investment type for you though.
