A Registered Education Savings Plan is a special savings account for parents who want to save for their child’s post-secondary education. Osler Education is a Certified Institution which means you would be eligible for RESP withdrawals and tax credits.
If you are currently employed and would like to further your career by enrolling in one of our programs, your employer may also have an Employer Assistance Program, for which the employee may be able to help cover some of the tuition costs. Please speak with your employer to take advantage of this program.
The Life Long Learning Plan allows individuals to withdraw amounts from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their significant other (spouse). Individuals may withdraw a maximum of $10,000 per year, for a total of $20,000 overall.
Canadian Revenue Agency’s regulations allow for tuition tax credits of designated educational institutes. Tuition fees paid to Osler Education are eligible for tax credits in accordance with the Canadian Income Tax Act.
The Act allows a percentage of tuition fees paid to the medical school to be claimed as a tax credit. Students can complete the T2202A form and send it to the Finance Department for approval and signature via email to finance@oslereducation.ca.
