Education Savings Plans
Education Savings Plans
Children give us a reason to live and a thousand reasons to hope. And also a desire to provide them with all the tools they need to succeed personally and professionally.
Build up a tax-sheltered fund to finance a child’s postsecondary 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) |
 |
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, beneficiaries must be related to the subscriber by blood or adoption.
|
