RDSP: Statement of Entitlement 2026 An RDSP Statement of Entitlement is a yearly update that tells the holder how the government will match their contributions to the savings plan. It tells them, how much will be matched, and the amount of the Grant associated with that contribution amount. #RDSP #SOE #StatementOfEntitlement

RDSP Statement of Entitlement 2026 reminder: once a beneficiary turns 18, grants and bonds are based on their income, not the parent’s. Matching money matters.

RRSP season reminder 👇

An RRSP isn’t tax-free — it’s tax-deferred.

Great in high-income years.
But withdrawals are fully taxable.

RRSP loan? Only if you can repay it quickly and use the refund to kill the debt.

Strategy > deduction.
