Education – RESP

Build up a tax-sheltered fund to finance a child’s post-secondary education. A registered education savings plan (RESP) is the ideal financial vehicle to meet the job market’s education requirements and help you defray mounting education costs.

Who Should Consider an RESP?

  • Any person who is concerned about the future of a beneficiary (generally a child).

Features and Advantages

  • You may designate a child, grandchild, nephew, niece, etc. as the beneficiary of an individual plan. There is no restriction on the relationship between the child and you.
  • For family plans, the beneficiaries must be related to the subscriber by blood or adoption.

In Addition

  • You are eligible for a government grant of up to $7,200, or 20% of your annual contributions to the plan (up to a maximum of $500 per year).
  • The beneficiary obtains an income tax deferral on his or her investment income.
  • You are eligible for a government grant of up to $7,200, or 20% of your annual contributions to the plan (up to a maximum of $500 per year).
  • You may change the plan beneficiary.
  • Your protection against financial market fluctuations may attain and even exceed 100% of the capital invested.
  • We pay you an education bonus of up to 15% of the total monthly contributions paid into the Diploma RESP. The bonus varies according to the beneficiary’s age at the time of enrolment.
