Types of RESPs

There are three types of RESPs:

  • Individual RESP plans — an individual, such as a parent or grandparent, opens an RESP and contributes to it

Note: Even a future post-secondary student can open an account for theirself.

  • Family RESP plans — you have one or more recipients and all are related to the individual who opens the RESP
  • Group RESP plans — one child is the recipient and does not have to be related to you

Note: Group plans tend to have more restrictions and rules.
