Review questions
- Confirm the exact legal RESP promoter row for Qtrade Direct Investing on the official Canada.ca list, because brand names can map to more than one promoter entity.
- Record whether Basic CESG, Additional CESG, CLB, BCTESG, and any Quebec QESI support apply to the exact account path being considered.
- Collect current account, advice, fund, trading, transfer-out, cancellation, paper-statement, and withdrawal fees from provider documents.
- Separate individual RESP, family RESP, self-directed, managed, advisor-led, branch, scholarship-plan, and credit-union partner paths instead of treating the brand as one product.
- Document transfer-in and transfer-out steps, timelines, in-kind limits, grant-history handling, and unsupported provincial incentive risks.
- Document the withdrawal process: proof of enrolment, contribution withdrawals, EAP requests, first-13-week limits, tax slips, payment destination, and service timing.
- Review focus: Self-directed RESP account features, guided portfolio path, transfer rules, and fees.
