Disclaimer

1Not financial advice

NewcomerSavings.ca is a Canadian personal finance publication. All content we publish — including guides, articles, comparisons, reviews and digital downloads — is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing on this website constitutes, or should be interpreted as, professional financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, tax advice or any other form of regulated financial guidance.

The NewcomerSavings editorial team are finance writers and researchers — we are not licensed financial advisors, investment advisors, lawyers or tax professionals. The information we publish reflects thorough research, real-world experience and editorial opinion. It is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your personal situation.

2What we do and don’t do

We want to be fully transparent about the role NewcomerSavings.ca plays and where our responsibility ends.

3Connecting with licensed professionals

While our team cannot provide personalised financial advice, we understand that sometimes you need to speak with someone who can. We are happy to help point you in the right direction.

If you need to connect with a licensed financial professional in Canada — such as a financial planner, accountant, investment advisor or tax specialist — reach out to us and we will do our best to help connect you with the right person for your situation.

You can also find licensed financial advisors in Canada through the Financial Planning Association of Canada or the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC).

4Accuracy of information

Our editorial team makes every reasonable effort to ensure the information published on NewcomerSavings.ca is accurate, current and helpful. We research our guides thoroughly and cite official sources including the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).

However, the Canadian financial landscape changes frequently. Interest rates, account fees, government rules, tax regulations and product features can change at any time. We update our guides at least every 6 months and display a “Last updated” date on every article — but we cannot guarantee that all information is accurate or current at the time you read it.

• Always verify important financial information directly with the relevant bank, institution or government body before acting on it
• Check the CRA website directly for the most current tax rules and contribution limits
• Contact your bank directly to confirm current fees, rates and account terms
• If you spot outdated or incorrect information, please let our team know and we will correct it promptly
