History is on your side

What makes Heritage different? Actually, it's in our name – a 43-year Heritage of helping people reach their educational goals.

We've grown with Canada's kids

Heritage Education Funds Inc. (originally known as Canadian American Financial Corp. (Canada) Limited) was founded in 1965. Over the years we've been part of many changes. Today, we're proud to be one of Canada's foremost RESP providers with: 

• Flexible and affordable plans and scholarship options
• Partnerships with brand name companies providing additional benefits
• Over 325,000 children enrolled and $1.46 billion in assets under management

You can count on us

Unlike banks and other financial institutions, we deal exclusively in RESPs. It's all we do, so we have developed a level of expertise that is hard to beat. Just ask the thousands of Canadian children whose futures have been built on a Heritage RESP.
