Planning for your child's educationMany Canadians would like to save for their child's future but are confused about what to do. They may feel they aren't able to save enough. Or they may not trust the people and organizations that offer information about money matters. This web site can help. It was developed by the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, a non-profit organization, with funding from the Government of Canada. Our goal is to help you save for your child's future post-secondary education and training. It is not our goal to make any money from this web site. We will not try to sell you anything or suggest any company or their products to you.
We do encourage you to get started saving now for your child's post-secondary education — if you have not done so already. Why?
x
Because starting early is one of the most important things you can do when saving. Even small steps today can make it much easier to pay for your child's education later. We also encourage you to open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) if it's right for you. An RESP is a special plan that helps you save for a child's studies after high school. Over the years, you put money into the plan and invest it so it will grow. Why? x
Because when you open an RESP, you can get money from the government to help you save for your child's post-secondary education. Your savings can also grow tax free in an RESP until the funds are withdrawn. This web site includes information to help you decide if an RESP is a good choice for you. We hope the information you find here will help you feel more confident about your choices and your ability to save for your child's future. We'll show you everything you need to do, in four simple steps.
