Our Strategic Goal:
Canadians have embraced and have confidence in financial planning as an important professional service on the path to financial wellness.
At FP Canada™, we believe that access to professional financial planning is critical to financial wellness.
Research shows that Canadians who work with professional financial planners feel more confident about their financial health.
The FP Canada 2022 Financial Stress Index found that people who work with a professional financial planner were far less likely to say money was their top concern, compared to those who don’t (15% vs. 39%).
But many Canadians don’t seek help from a financial planner because of:
- Confusion about what financial planning is and who can provide it.
- Uncertainty about who to trust and what the costs are.
- Anxiety about having enough money and knowledge to work with a financial planner.
Professional Financial Planning for all Canadians
FP Canada will increase diversity, equity and inclusion in the financial planning profession. The annual IMAGINE 2030 survey will measure progress on how Canadians feel about their financial well-being, confidence, access to financial advice and trust of financial professionals. Read the results of the initial survey in the IMAGINE 2030 Benchmark Report.
