Investment questions...RRSP VS TFSA

Hi all, what can you tell me is the difference between the 2? Advantages/disadvantages?
We went to speak to our new financial advisor and I asked him about buying a small lump sum RRSP. He said to buy a TFSA(tax free savings acct).
BUT from what I see(online anyway) there is a large difference in %'s.
RRSP approx 2%, meanwhile TFSA is approx 0.10 % ??
Curious what the benefits would be between the 2.
Our financial advisor is new, BUT the company he works for Sunlife I have been with for quite a while.
Thanks
Steve
