Every parent dreams of giving their child the best start in life — from a strong education to lifelong financial security. At SMM Insurance, we make that possible through Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) and Child Life Insurance solutions that grow with your family.

Our plans help you save for your child’s education, protect them financially, and build a legacy that lasts for generations.

What Is an RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan)?

An RESP is a government-registered savings plan designed to help parents save for their child’s post-secondary education. The money you contribute grows tax-deferred, and the Government of Canada adds grant money through programs such as the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG).

With an RESP, you can:

• Save up to $50,000 per child

• Receive up to $7,200 in government grants

• Grow your investment tax-free until withdrawal

• Use funds for tuition, books, housing, or other educational costs

📘 Learn how your RESP can be enhanced with life insurance protection on our Life Insurance page.

Why Pair RESP with Child Insurance?

While an RESP helps fund your child’s education, Child Insurance ensures their financial protection and future insurability. This dual strategy offers both savings and security.

Child Life Insurance is a permanent policy that:

• Locks in low premiums for life

• Builds cash value that can be used for education or emergencies

• Guarantees future insurability, regardless of health changes

• Creates a financial head start for adulthood

By combining RESP and Child Insurance, you create a powerful foundation for your child’s financial independence.

How Does an RESP Work in Canada?

RESPs are flexible and supported by both federal and provincial governments. You contribute money regularly or as a lump sum, and your savings grow over time.

When your child starts college or university:

• They can withdraw the funds for tuition and expenses

• You receive the principal contributions back tax-free

• Grants and investment growth are taxed at the student’s lower rate
