🎓 Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) — Building Your Child’s Future
Investing in your child’s education is one of the most impactful financial decisions a parent can make. A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a powerful tool that grows with your child’s needs — offering government grants, tax-deferred growth, and flexible withdrawal options.
At hilmi-adil.ca, as a licensed Group Scholarship Plan Dealer, I help families choose between private insurance RESPs and the highly structured CST Advantage Plan.
🏆 Why Open an RESP?
RESPs offer these key benefits:
✅ Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) – Receive up to $7,200 per child
✅ Tax-sheltered growth – Investment earnings grow without immediate tax
✅ Flexible contributions and withdrawals – Ideal for changing family budgets
✅ Wide eligibility – Parents, grandparents, or friends can contribute
✅ Low minimum contributions – Start with as little as $25/month
Together, these advantages make RESP an effective way to lighten the financial burden of post-secondary education.

Through my accreditation with Experior and licensing to distribute CST Advantage Plans, I offer access to a trusted group scholarship plan:
