Anyone who has age of majority in their province or territory as of January 1 of the year they wish to open an RESP can do so for a beneficiary who:

  1. Has a Social Insurance Number (SIN)
  2. Is a resident of Canada

Please note that SINs are required for both account holders and beneficiaries (learn more).
