ChildPlan™ is Canada’s fastest growing alternative to traditional education savings plans. While the world in 2026 has moved toward specialized trades, global mobility, and entrepreneurship, the rules governing traditional plans remain stuck in the past.
ChildPlan™ is a participating whole life plan and your private investment with no Government rules or restrictions that empowers your child with a lifelong financial foundation and security to follow their dreams —not just a Government mandated four-year tuition fund.
Traditional RESP education savings plans mandated that funds you save must be used for Government “designated” schools, or you face heavy tax penalties and grant clawbacks.
The ChildPlan™ Difference: There are no restrictions on what your child chooses as their future career or how the funds are used.
The Reality: Whether your child attends a top-tier university, starts a tech firm, pursues a master’s in Europe, or buys their first home, the capital in their ChildPlan™ is theirs to use as they see fit. No proof of enrolment required. No approval required to access it.
The world is now interconnected and your child’s future shouldn’t be limited by the borders of a single country.
The ChildPlan™ Difference: As your private investment asset, ChildPlan™ follows your child anywhere in the world for education and life.
The Reality: From international exchanges to permanent relocation, your child maintains access to their wealth without the bureaucratic hurdles and tax residency traps associated with government-registered education savings plans.
No one can predict the stock market or everyone would be a millionaire. Market volatility can be the enemy of your 20-year education savings goal for your child.
The ChildPlan™ Difference: Unlike stock-market-based education savings plans, ChildPlan™ offers guaranteed cash values that grow every year, not for 20 years but for life.
The Reality: Supported by annual dividends, your child’s cash value fund compounds tax-free, for life. When they reach adulthood, you can transfer to them a fully vested, permanent financial asset completely tax-free, that can provide them a tax-free cash flow for life.
Most parents don’t realize that the “free” money in a traditional RESP comes with a heavy invisible price tag: Compliance.
In a traditional registered education savings plan, the government essentially “rents” you the CESG grant money. If your child doesn’t follow the government’s specific rules, they take it back, even if you lost it on the stock market —along with a significant portion of your hard-earned growth.
The Grant Clawback: If your child decides not to attend a qualifying post-secondary institution, 100% of the government grants (CESG) must be returned. That “free” $7,200 disappears instantly.
The 20% “Success Tax”: If you withdraw the investment growth for anything other than school or education related expenses, CRA hits you with your regular income tax on that growth PLUS an additional 20% penalty tax.
RESPs have an expiration date. If the money isn’t used within 35 years, the account must be closed, triggering all the penalties above.
The ChildPlan™ difference ; ChildPlan™ eliminates the “Use It Or Lose It” anxiety entirely. Because there are no government grants involved, there are no government rules or “clawbacks.”
The Bottom Line: With an RESP, you are saving for a possibility that may not happen. With ChildPlan™, you are saving for a certainty (Your Child’s Future).
“We saw parents doing everything right—saving every month—only to be told their child couldn’t use their own money for a trade school or a first home. We created ChildPlan™ to give that control back to the family.”
