It's a simple 2-step process.

• 1. Get a Social Insurance Number (SIN) for yourself and your child. There's no fee. However, certain documents, such as a birth certificate, are required.
• 2. Open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) account with an RESP Provider that offers the Canada Learning Bond.
  
  You don’t even have to put money into the RESP. Your RESP provider will apply for the bond, which will be deposited directly into your child’s RESP account.
