About the Canada Learning Bond
The Canada Learning Bond is a Government of Canada kick-start contribution into the RESP of an eligible child. All eligible children receive an initial $500 and an additional $100 for each year they continue to meet the requirements, up to age 15 or to a maximum total contribution of $2,000.
Children born January 2004 or later are eligible. Children in care who receive the Children’s Special Allowance also qualify.
