Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP)
Registered Education Savings Plans, or RESPs, are a smart way for Canadians to plan ahead and save for post-secondary education. RESPs offer unique benefits that you can't get any other way. They shelter your savings from tax until your child is ready to use the money, and your plan receives free government grants when you save.
RESP benefits
1. Tax-free growth - RESPs let your money grow tax-free until your child becomes a qualified post-secondary student.
2. Government grants - When you save with an RESP, federal and provincial incentives help you save more by matching some of the money you contribute.
