Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)

A savings plan designed specifically for people living with disabilities in Canada. 

A long-term savings plan to help families save for the future 

RDSPs are intended to assist parents and others in planning for the long-term financial security of their relatives and others with disabilities that are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.  Similar to other registered plans, RDSPs are tax sheltered so more money stays with the plan holder. 

Here’s how it works 

You can open an RDSP and be the plan holder if you are:  

  • A person with a disability who 19 and older and has the capacity to manage their own finances 
  • The legal parent of a child with a disability under the age of 19  
  • A legal guardian who is authorized to act on behalf of a person with a disability  

A person may be designated as a beneficiary if they meet the following requirements:  

  • Eligible for the Disability Tax Credit  
  • Have a valid Social Insurance Number  
  • Must be a resident of Canada  
  • Under the age of 60
  • Can only have one RDSP at any time
