What the programme covers
The programme is built around the gaps newcomers tell us about: how Canadian banking, credit and tax systems work; the account types and acronyms that confuse many newcomers, such as RRSP, TFSA and RESP; and how supporting family back home fits into your own financial plan.

What the programme is, and is not
The programme teaches Canadian-context financial literacy. It does not provide personalised financial advice. We encourage participants to speak to an independent financial planner about their own circumstances.
