Every subscription is reviewed and approved by Drake Financial Ltd., a registered exempt market dealer — independently of Tawakkul. Why that matters
RESP
Registered Education Savings Plan, without interest.
The RESP is the only registered account where the government contributes alongside you. For most families that grant is the single largest return available anywhere in the system, and it is not interest.
Why it matters here. Many Muslim parents avoid RESPs because the default investment options inside them are interest-bearing. The account and the investment are separate decisions — you can take the grant and choose what it buys.
How the RESP works
Government grantThe Canada Education Savings Grant matches a percentage of what you contribute each year, up to an annual and lifetime maximum per child
Additional supportLower-income families may qualify for additional grant and for the Canada Learning Bond
Tax treatmentContributions are not deductible; growth is sheltered and taxed in the student's hands when withdrawn, usually at a low rate
If the child does not studyContributions come back to you; grants are returned to the government; growth may be moved to an RRSP subject to conditions
Who it suits
Any parent or grandparent with a child under 18. The grant is the reason to act early rather than late.
What to be careful about
Match the horizon to the child's age. If tuition is four years away, this holding is too illiquid — redemption takes 30 to 60 days and the early-year fee still applies.
Eligible for your RESP. The Offering Memorandum confirms that, provided the Trust qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act, Units are qualified investments for registered plans. How a registered subscription runs.
How a registered subscription actually runs
You send no money yourself
Your plan custodian transfers the funds once a transfer form is completed and the transfer from your existing institution settles. Nothing leaves your own bank account.
It takes weeks, not days
A custodian transfer is a multi-week process. Most registered subscriptions that fail do so because nobody said anything for a month — so we track yours and tell you where it has reached at each stage.
A holding limit applies
Units become a prohibited investment for a registered plan if your interest reaches 10% or more of the fair market value of all beneficiaries' interests. We warn you well before that point.
Your dealer still decides
Drake Financial Ltd., a registered exempt market dealer, reviews every file. This platform assembles it — it does not assess suitability and it never approves anything.
This call explains the Trust and helps with the paperwork. It is not advice — whether an investment suits you is assessed by Drake Financial Ltd., a registered exempt market dealer, independently of Tawakkul.
