U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.

RDSP: A Complex Pathway to Long-Term Security

 


The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is often described as one of Canada’s most powerful yet underutilized financial tools. Designed to help people with disabilities and their families save for the future, the RDSP comes with unique benefits that make its administrative hurdles worthwhile.

At its core, the RDSP offers two major advantages:

  • Government Grants and Bonds: Eligible contributions can be matched by the federal government through generous grants, and low-income beneficiaries may also qualify for bonds—even without personal contributions.
  • Tax-Deferred Growth: Investments inside the RDSP grow tax-free until funds are withdrawn, allowing savings to compound over time.

The paperwork, eligibility rules, and withdrawal restrictions can feel daunting. Families often face challenges navigating the application process, understanding contribution limits, and planning around complex withdrawal rules. Yet, for those who persist, the payoff is significant: thousands of dollars in government contributions and a secure financial foundation for the beneficiary’s long-term needs.

In short, while the RDSP may demand patience and persistence, it remains one of the most impactful ways to build financial security for Canadians with disabilities.
