RESPs Can Fund the Skilled Trades, Too

RESPs Can Fund the Skilled Trades, Too

Is your child interested in becoming an electrician or a plumber? 💡🔧

Skilled trades can offer strong earning potential and a variety of rewarding career paths.

Here's how a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) and the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) could help you save for your child's education:

• Contribute up to $50,000 per child, with investments growing tax-deferred
• Receive CESG money: 20% of contributions up to $500 per year, to a lifetime maximum of $7,200
• Use RESP funds for eligible post-secondary programs, including apprenticeships and skilled trades programs
