  • Know what kind of investment you want to make
  • Set up a plan with savings
  • Find out if your child is eligible for other plans like CLB
  • Government matches the savings you make for your child

The person who opens the account will be called the subscriber and the person receiving the benefits will be called the beneficiary.
