Are you worried about not having enough money for your child’s post-secondary education?
With the rising costs associated with sending a child to college or university, many parents are concerned they aren’t as prepared as they would like to be. A four-year degree at a Canadian University costs as much as $60,000 today, and this cost is expected to rise. A wealth professional can help get you started with the right savings plan for you and your family.
Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP)
When your child withdraws the RESP earnings for educational purposes, the withdrawals are taxed in the child’s hands, which is typically at a low tax rate.
All savings in a RESP will grow tax-deferred until withdrawn. The lifetime contribution limit per child is $50,000.

Consider a Family Plan
Family RESP plans are also available. If you have more than one child, they can all be beneficiaries of one family plan. This is ideal in case not all your children pursue post-secondary education, or if the cost of school is not the same for each child.
