Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs)

A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is an investment vehicle primarily used by parents to save for their children's post-secondary education.

The primary benefits of using an RESP to save for your children's education include access to the Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG) and the ability to shelter the RESP's growth from taxes until funds are withdrawn.

There's lots to know about RESPs and how they fit into your family's overall financial picture. For more information, please feel free to contact us.

Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)

The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) allows Canadians, age 18 and over, to set money aside tax-free throughout their lifetime. Each calendar year, you can contribute up to the TFSA dollar limit for the year, plus any unused TFSA contribution room from the previous year, and the amount you withdrew the year before.

The annual TFSA dollar limit for 2017 is $5,500.*

All income earned and withdrawals from a TFSA are generally tax-free. Plus, having a TFSA does not impact federal benefits and credits. It's a great way to save for short and long-term goals.
