Once your plan is registered as an RESP, it’s eligible for government grants that start earning income right away.

All RESPs are eligible for The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG).
Your plan may also be eligible for:
• The Canada Learning Bond (CLB)
• The Québec Education Savings Incentive (QESI)
• The Alberta Centennial Education Savings Plan (ACES)

We invest the money

Our lower-risk investment strategy helps us protect your principal and return it to you in full so your money will be there when your child is ready for post-secondary school.

Your student qualifies for school

Qualified students can study full-time at home or abroad. They can choose one continuous program, up to four short programs, switch programs or even transfer to another qualified school.

We make payments

When your plan matures, we can return the principal to you right away or reinvest it so it keeps earning income.

As long as you make all your contributions and stay invested to maturity, we also return at least half your enrolment fee, paid in installments when we send education assistance payments to your student.

We make payments to your child from their first year of study – no waiting! Qualified students are eligible for up to four education assistance payments, one for each year of post-secondary school.

What is principal?

Your principal is the money you put into your plan — your contributions — less enrolment fees and depository charges.

This part of your investment is returned to you when your plan matures, unless you choose to reinvest it.
