Give your child a head start.
Starting now.


Account Highlights

With access to a range of investments and Canadian provincial government grants, a self-directed RESP can help lay the foundation for the education your children dream of.

  1. Maximize your plan
    Receive up to $500 a year in federal grants, from the Canadian government, per child.

  2. Investments grow tax-deferred
    Taxes on income earned are deferred until the money is withdrawn.

  3. Use government grants to help your education savings
    We take care of the administration, including registering, to transfers in to us, and we'll ensure eligible grants are processed and applied to your account. Grants available are basic CESG, basic and additional QESI, and BC Grants.
