Watch your savings grow

The government of Canada provides free money on contributions to RESP beneficiaries in the form of incentives to assist parents, families and friends save for post-secondary education. Incentives are paid to the RESP based on the amount of your contribution and limits imposed by the government.
 
The CESG provides grants to all RESP contributors, regardless of income, until the beneficiary reaches the age of 17. The CESG provides 20% on the first $2,500 in annual contributions up to a maximum of $500 per year per beneficiary. Learn more >
The CLB program provides families that receive the National Child Benefit Supplement a $500 bond to an RESP. Families will also receive a $100 bond instalment until age 15 for each year their family is entitled to the supplement. The great thing about the Learning Bond is that families do not have to put any money in an RESP to receive the bond; you just have to have a certain net income. Learn more >
The BCTESG is a one time $1,200 provincial incentive available to children born in 2006 or later. You do not need to contribute to an RESP to receive the grant; however, there are application deadlines you need to meet in order to receive the grant. Learn more >
