Investing in Ontario: What newcomers need to know

Ontario newcomers have access to every major investment platform. Wealthsimple (headquartered in Toronto) offers TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, and non-registered accounts free of charge. TD, RBC, and BMO all have investment advisors who speak Punjabi, Mandarin, Tamil, and other newcomer languages in major GTA branches. Ontario's high cost of living makes FHSA (First Home Savings Account) particularly relevant — open one as soon as you arrive if you plan to buy a home.
