RDSP Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered—Unlocking Clarity for Your Financial Journey

What is an RDSP?

A Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is a long-term savings plan designed to help eligible Canadians living with a disability build financial security for the future. It allows contributions to grow on a tax-deferred basis and may include government incentives, depending on eligibility.

What are RDSP grants and bonds?

In some cases, the federal government may contribute to an RDSP through grants or bonds. These are designed to help accelerate long-term savings. The amount and availability depend on factors such as eligibility and income.

Who can open an RDSP?

An RDSP can be opened by the beneficiary (if legally able), or by a parent, guardian, or legal representative, depending on the situation. The correct setup matters, especially for minors or adults requiring assistance.

Can family members contribute?

Yes. Family members and others can contribute to the RDSP, subject to program rules and contribution limits.

Is there a deadline to open an RDSP?

There are age-related considerations and timing rules that can affect eligibility for certain incentives. Starting earlier can provide more flexibility, but it’s important to review your specific timeline.

What happens if funds are withdrawn?

RDSP withdrawals are governed by specific rules. In certain cases, early withdrawals may affect government incentives. Understanding how withdrawals work is an important part of proper planning.

Is an RDSP the same as a RESP or RRSP?

No. An RDSP is specifically designed for long-term financial planning for individuals living with a disability. It has different rules, contribution limits, and government incentive structures than RESPs or RRSPs.

What if I’m not sure where to start?

The best first step is a short conversation. Reviewing your eligibility, timeline, and goals can help determine whether an RDSP is appropriate and how it should be structured.
