PLAN partners with RBC to reach more Canadians
RBC and PLAN also announced that they are teaming up to inform Canadians about the RDSP. We estimate approximately 500,000 Canadians will be eligible to open an RDSP and our mutual goal is that people be aware of how the RDSP will assist people with disabilities in assuring their future financial security.
