91˿Ƶ Personal Financial Essentials
Published: 7 March 2023

Tax season is here. In Canada, the RRSP contribution deadline was March 1, and while putting money into a RRSP account can help reduce their tax bill for the year, it’s not the ideal option for everyone. The 91˿Ƶ Personal Financial Essentials course helps people in such situations understand which financial instruments are best suited to their own circumstances. It’s a free online course that is delivered in six modules, and open to all. “The course assumes no pre-existing knowledge,” said Prof. Benjamin Croitoru to CBC News Our Montreal and All in a Weekend. “We wanted to make it accessible to everyone – because we believe that everyone can benefit from some basic financial knowledge.”
