FAQ

What is an education planning, and how does it benefit my family?

An Education Savings Plan in Canada supports your child’s student education plan with tax benefits and CESG grants. A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) offers tax-sheltered growth with a $50,000 maximum RESP contribution limit, while a TFSA provides additional savings for education in Ontario and beyond, reducing financial stress when tuition payments begin.

What saving strategies should I consider for my child’s education?

Combine RESP savings, TFSA contributions, and family gifting options to maximize grants and grow funds tax-efficiently.

How early should I start an education savings plan?

It’s best to start as early as possible to take advantage of compounding returns, RESP grants, and long-term growth.

What are the key components of a successful education plan?

A solid education plan includes RESP contributions, CESG maximization, gifting options, and effective budgeting to meet education costs.

My wife and I entrusted our finances to Peter and his team in 2006, and now, on the edge of retirement, we have a solid financial base thanks to the planning, goal setting, and execution provided by Peter’s team, who are as much old friends as advisors. Every aspect of our financial life, from RSPs to investment accounts to TFSAs, is meticulously planned, making this a lifelong relationship.
