What is an FHSA? Learn more from Nataliia’s story!

Meet our client, Natalyia, a 29-year-old young professional in Calgary who recently moved from Ukraine. She’s working hard to build a new life and dreams of owning her first home.

But with rents climbing and a down payment feeling out of reach, she needs a new path forward. That’s when she discovered the First Home Savings Account.

She opened one and contributed $8,000 in her first year, lowering her taxes like an RRSP. And here’s the best part: when she uses the money to buy a home, it’s completely tax-free, just like a Tax-Free Savings Account.

Fast forward two years, Natalyia saves $16,000 plus investment gains. She combines it with her RRSPs through the Home Buyers’ Plan, and suddenly she has a real down payment.
