RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan)

$0.00

Save Smarter for Your Child’s Future

Post-secondary education isn’t getting cheaper. The RESP is still the most efficient, government-supported way to fund it—period.

An RESP allows parents, grandparents, and loved ones to invest for a child’s education while receiving government grants of at least 20%, with additional incentives available depending on income and province.

If education is the goal, RESP is the vehicle.

  • What is an RESP?
    A tax-advantaged education savings plan designed to help families pay for post-secondary education, supported by federal and provincial grants.

    Who can open one?
    Parents, grandparents, guardians, and even family friends.

    How long does it last?

    • Contributions: up to 31 years

    • Plan lifespan: up to 35 years

    Why it works:
    Government grants + tax-deferred growth = faster compounding with less effort.

    • Subscriber – The person who opens and controls the plan

    • Beneficiary – The child who will use the funds for education

    • Contributor – Anyone adding money to the plan

    Control stays with the subscriber. Flexibility stays with the family.

  • Individual RESP

    Best for flexibility.

    • One beneficiary

    • Subscriber does not need to be related

    • Beneficiary can be changed if plans change

    Family RESP

    Best for households with multiple children.

    • Multiple beneficiaries

    • Must be related by blood or adoption

    • All beneficiaries must be siblings

    • Beneficiaries must be named before age 21

    Strategic takeaway:
    Individual plans = precision.
    Family plans = efficiency.

    • Grants apply to the first $2,500 per year

    • Catch-up grants allow up to $5,000 per year

    • No annual contribution limit

    • Lifetime limit: $50,000 per beneficiary

    • Contributions are not tax-deductible

    • Withdrawals are tax-efficient when used for education

    This is one of the few places where the government actually helps you build wealth.
