^ One poster thought TD may have repaired this policy. I'm still issuing this warning until we know for sure (re: all grants, not only CESG).
Rae, by bond I mean the free "learning bond" money for low-income families.
The longer story: When I tried to move mine to low-fee index, TD direct investing got me all set up then explained it would not receive the free money (not sure if grants and bonds at that time, or just the bond for low-income). They said that needed to be in-branch. In-branch told me I would have to be in their highest-fee account for TD to allow all free money.
Another poster subsequently found the same.
Again, since then one poster thought TD may have repaired this policy (just in the last few months possibily). So, anyone eligible for anything, check before commiting.
RBC direct investing has all the same CCP options as TD-DI and allows all the money, as they did when I was first aiming to move it (late 2015 or early 2016).
