Travel Insurance
Simply put, travel insurance is insurance that protects you financially from medical and other travel-related incidences that happen while you are out of your home province or the country. It can protect you for a day, a week, a month, six months, or longer.
Travel insurance policies come in many shapes and sizes to fit any type of trip, or multiple trips. They can provide coverage for just you, your entire family, or you and a travelling companion. Coverage categories include:
-
Medical emergencies
-
Non-medial plans for incidences related to trip cancellation, trip interruption and lost baggage
-
All-inclusive plans combining both medical and non-medical benefits
Do I Really Need Travel Insurance?
Whether you ask experienced travellers, the federal government or your provincial government, you will get the same answer: yes. All of them recommend some sort of protection when you are travelling outside of your home province. Your provincial health insurance has limits as to what it covers outside your home province and offers you very limited protection outside of Canada.
RESP
What is RESP? It is a special savings account registered with the Government of Canada to help you, your family or friends saving early your child’s education after high school. The money in the RESP will be invested so it can grow and earn interest. You will not be taxed on the interest, and your child can usually withdraw the money tax- free. Any money that you, your family or friends put in the RESP is also eligible for the Canada Education Savings Grant. The Canada Education Savings Grant could add up to $200 on the first $500 you save annually, and up to $400 on the next $2,000. Even savings of $5 a week can make a difference, especially when the Canada Education Savings Grant is added. That money will also earn interest over time. The sooner you start to save, the more your savings will grow. To be able to get your child a cover under RESP, a beneficiary must meet the following requirements:
-
Be a resident or Citizen of Canada
-
Social insurance number (SIN)
How Much Money Can You Save?
The maximum lifetime contribution limit per child is $50,000 while there isn’t any annual contribution limit. This implies that as per your budget, you can invest up to $50,000 in the plan. To encourage parents to invest funds in post-secondary education of their children as early as possible, the government of Canada has devised CESG plan.
CESG in a Glimpse:
-
Annual Grant: 20% of your annual contribution
-
Contribution Limit of Annual Grant: $500
-
Total Lifetime Limit per Saving (per Beneficiary): $7,200
-
Some provinces offer their own Grant programs in addition to CESG. The federal and provincial governments contribute the grants directly into the RESP, and these additions within your contribution can significantly increase your savings.
If your child doesn’t want to study further, how can you utilize the funds? If your child doesn’t wish to continue his post-secondary education, then you can:
-
Nominate a new beneficiary
-
Take back/withdraw the money
-
Transfer the funds into your RRSP account

RRSP
A Registered Retirement Saving Plan, or RRSP, is a special type of investment account designed to help Canadians save for retirement. The main advantage of an RRSP account, as compared to a regular investment account, is the tax benefits it offers. For now, just know that the contribution made to an RRSP - which can be made up to a certain limit - are tax free and that the money within an RRSP can compound without your having to pay taxes on the gains.
1. Tax-Deferred Growth
All investments within an RRSP account grow tax deferred. In other words, any profits made on investments within an RRSP account in the form of interest, dividends or capital gains are not immediately taxable to you as income.
Note that there is a difference between tax deferred and tax free, however. RRSP investors do have to pay taxes on the profits in their RRSP, but this does not occur until the funds are withdrawn. Tax deferral remains a benefit because, in theory, income tends to be lower in retirement than in your peak earning years.
2. Tax Credits
The second major tax benefit comes in the form of a tax credit. What this means is that your taxable income is reduced by the amount you contribute - up to a certain point.
