    At this point, the account application will be generated and e-signed for all Simple Accounts. This applies to: 

    • Individual
    • TFSA
    • RRSP
    • Spousal RRSP
    • LIRA


    For all other accounts, this step will be skipped as additional information is required to ensure the accounts meet your client's specific situation. More information on each account type can be found below.
