Here is everything you need to set up a ScotiaMcLeod RESP:

Self-directed Family Education Savings Plan Application Print off and complete this form to set up a Family (i.e. with more than one beneficiary) RESP.

Pre-Authorized Contribution Agreement for RESPs Set up an optional Pre-Authorized Contribution plan (PAC) to have small regular contributions made to the RESP directly from your bank account. Many investors find this helps with their cash-flow planning.

If you are transferring your RESP from another institution, you will also need:

Form Notes
RESP Transfer Request Print off and complete this form to have your RESP transferred to ScotiaMcLeod.

Mail or Fax the completed forms to your ScotiaMcLeod Wealth Advisor.

Note: ScotiaMcLeod charges an annual fee of $53 per year for self-directed RESPs (which is waived for clients with over $150,000 in assets with ScotiaMcLeod). We will arrange no-annual fee RESPs directly with a preferred fund company (eg. Fidelity) for no annual fee for smaller accounts.

Check out Dynamic's RESP Calculator to see how much you need to contribute.
