What is RESP?

Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) helps you save for your children’s post-secondary education. It has a tax-free growth, offers flexibility and helps you plan and save many years in advance so you are not weighed down with the expenses at the time.Canadian Residents with a social insurance number (SIN) who wish to set up the fund for any beneficiary including children, nephews, nieces, grandchildren or any dependent child should consider RESP.

    WHO NEEDS IT?

    At different stages of life, one always wants to ensure a bright future for their children. RESP eliminates the financial burden of post-secondary education, a gift that can be given to your children, grandchildren, nieces/nephews.

    3 Benefits of RESP

    1. Tax Free Growth

    RESPs offer tax deferral. This means that interest income and investment growth earned within an RESP are not taxed as long as the funds remain in the plan. Withdrawals from an RESP are taxed in the hands of the student, which usually means they pay little or no tax.

    2. The Canada Education Saving Grant

    With the CESG, for an eligible beneficiary under the age of 18, the government matches 20% on the first $2,500 contributed annually to an RESP. The maximum total CESG the government will give, up to age 18, is $7,200 per beneficiary. The grant proceeds are invested along with your contributions, further enhancing the benefits of tax-deferred and compound investment growth within your plan.

    3. Canada Learning Bond

    A $500 CLB is provided for children of families who are entitled to the National Child Benefit Supplement and who are born after December 31, 2003. These children also qualify for CLB installments of $100 per year until age 15, as long as they continue to receive the National Child Benefit Supplement. The total maximum CLB payable per child is $2,000. CLBs are allocated to a specific child; unlike CESGs, they cannot be shared with other beneficiaries. There is no requirement to make contributions in order to qualify for the CLB.

    WHAT OUR CUSTOMER SAY?

    RAJ , Mississauga

    I know Zahid for the last 4 years, as he has handled my complex and unique insurance needs. During one of the recent conversations , when he mentioned that he also handles mortgages, (considering his excellent support and understanding of my unique situation and needs in the past) I immediately requested him to help me get a good mortgage so that I can consolidate my first and second mortgage and save on monthly mortgage payment. As during the past year, I've been to many mortgage brokers and nobody could offer me something to the best of my satisfaction.( Either , the interest rates were high, or LTV was low ) . But to my pleasant surprise, Zahid and his associate Bindu, offered me exactly what I was looking for considering my unique situation, with minimum of paperwork (the interest rate was very competitive and the LTV was also good). And all the closing process was finished in very less amount of time and they supported me during the whole process. I must say Zahid is very knowledgeable, professional and good human being, and so his associate Bindu, they are excellent team. I am looking forward to work with them so that my future financial needs can be taken care of.

    I take this opportunity to thank you for helping me in my financial needs and I was really " Impressed" with your professionalism and the way you gave me your advice. It's been 15 years since I came to this country and have met many " Financial Advisors" but didn't have that " Positive Attitude" you have and even though I had a " Bad Credit" and was very much worried that I am going to loose everything but with your expertise and guidance I came out of it as you helped me in getting the " Second Mortgage" with the lowest interest rate available in the market and guided me at every step of that process. Now I am having sleep without any " Nightmares" and you have promised me that you are going to help me in my financial decisions till the time you think I am stable enough and even after that stability you will still keep advising me with your expertise. For me you were a " Savior" and with your advice will definitely be successful. Once again I thank you very much for your help and advice and wish you all the best wishes and indeed I will refer my family and friends to your office in future for any " Financial Advise".

    MEHRAN , Markham

    I had a great experience getting mortgage through Orooj Financial. Mr. Zahid Syed and his team were able to get me the best rate in the market. All the paper work was done electronically which made me possible to focus on my job. I am impressed with their services and convenience they offer to clients. I would highly recommend others to get in touch with them and feel the ease of getting mortgage.

    Tahir Qureshi, General Manager - Ansar group

    I called Zahid after hearing his tips on radio and just felt that I could trust him. I arranged a meeting in his office. He listened to my needs very carefully and provided me the life and critical illness insurance for my family future. I was very impressed with his professionalism and would refer him to my family and friends.
