RESP contributions

You will be able to make contributions for a beneficiary only if:

  • the beneficiary's social insurance number (SIN) is given to the promoter before the contribution is made and the beneficiary is a resident of Canada; or
  • the contribution is made by way of a transfer from another RESP under which the individual was a beneficiary immediately before the transfer.

Note

If the plan was entered into before 1999, the beneficiary's SIN will not be required. However, such contributions will continue to be ineligible for the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG).
