- Insurance protects your income, health, and family against unexpected events
- RRSPs help you build wealth for the future, fund your children's education, or start a business
- Combining both ensures you're prepared for emergencies and retirement
Why Is RRSP Important for New Immigrants?
Canada welcomes thousands of new immigrants each year-students, skilled workers, and families seeking new opportunities. As you settle in, financial planning becomes crucial for long-term stability and independence.
- RRSPs are a powerful tool to save for retirement and reduce your taxable income
- Grow your savings tax-deferred-pay tax only when you withdraw funds in the future
- Contribute as soon as you have Canadian earned income-no citizenship required
- Flexible investment options mutual funds, GICs, stocks, bonds, and more
Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
Why Pair Insurance with RRSP Planning?
How Does an RRSP Work for New Canadians?

The sooner you start, the more your savings can grow
