I don't hav ethe talent or knowledge to get to know foregin companies well enough to put my hard earned dough there, but I don't want to miss out on the returns either. I prefer to use ARDD, but I am going to buy some EFA (MSCI Index) for my RRSP because of the 2.8% yield and long term growth prospects.

I do not know how old you are ( my guess is mid 30ties), but I wouldn't keep more than 10 % of my overall portfolio in fixed income. Fixed income is great for diversification purposes, but its long-term returns always trail the stock market.

However, I hesitate to sell because I beleive strongly in RY. My actions over the next year will bring this number down and the overall Canadian equite allocation in line with where it should be.

I assume you are comfortable having 1 stock make up 18% of your portfolio? Personally I really like Royal Bank, but does this jive with your asset allocation plans?
