Description
Sven is a technician who became a financial planner who became a technician again in order to emigrate to Canada. It turns out that they have enough financial planners.  Sven is originally from Bulgaria, but lived in South Africa for 13 years and the visa process he and his South African wife went through is an interesting journey.  About 30 minutes into the interview, Sven mentioned a government programme aimed at helping parents save for their children's tertiary education. Unfortunately he overestimated the amount the Canadian government would contribute, but $7200 is still a pretty handy amount considering it's free. Here is a link to the RESP Savings Plan offered in Canada.  Enjoy.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jonathan-warncke/message
