Don’t miss out on the benefits your Social Insurance Number can bring. Your SIN is your key to accessing essential services and opportunities. To register for an RESP, and benefit from government grants like the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) or the Canada Learning Bond (CLB), a SIN is required for both you and your child. If your child doesn’t yet have one, it’s best to apply before you open your RESP.
Here’s what you need to know about SINs and how to get one.
Why is a SIN important?
Essential Services: Your SIN is vital for accessing healthcare, social assistance, and filing taxes. It’s your gateway to vital government programs and benefits, like an RESP and the grant funding that you can receive through opening one.
Education Savings: If you’re planning to invest in your child’s education, you can’t begin doing so without a SIN.
