Very tax efficient, as you're getting the dividend from the stocks plus the covered call premium overlay on top (typically a return of capital, so it's really a deferred capital gain). You can hold them within an RRSP or TFSA, but the tax efficiency obviously works well for non-registered accounts.
The question then becomes whether you should hold covered call strategies? The providers always highlight the tremendous yields. But when you start stacking them against the underlying securities, you're better off holding the underlying securities more often than not. As the options get struck, you miss out on the upside.
If you need income, and that's the most important thing for you, then covered call strategies can make sense. But don't get lured by the high, fantastic yield being promoted.
