Big thank you to Brahim Titafi
Big thank you to Brahim Titafi. He is efficient, patient and straightforward. He place reminders and follow-up calls, that kept me on track. I have never had (so far) a bad experience and I have been with embark since the beginning, It was previously knowledge first and the switch over was long but without error. I have I added my children easily on the website (which is easy to maneuver). Best decision is made to invest in my kids early. Even better that I did it with embark. No regrets. Thanks again Brahim Titafi, be blessed!

Scared but it is important
Well when somebody got in contact with me from Embark i was not too sure whether it is real or a scam. to clear my doubt i chose to be spoken to on another appointment. there comes Erika Quiroz who was able to get me to relax and give a vivid detail about the program. i decided is best i speak with my spouse about this stranger telling us about how to secure the future of our kids. My husband gave his go ahead so i decided to do google meet with Erika so that i can see her face, she gladly set up the appointment. Eventually i signed up. thanks Erika you just helped me plan for my kids. thanks Embark for the opportunity

Thank You Brahim Titafi!
I had a wonderful experience opening an RESP for my now 2nd child to have a savings with Embark! Thank you so much to Brahim Titafi for contacting me to explain the family plan as I was expecting; following up when the child was born; and making the set up easy to understand and simple to complete! So happy to have this plan available that works to support our family plans for the future.

Horrible Customer Service
Horrible Customer Service. I truly believe that this company is fraudulent and is scamming people out of their money. I tried to get in contact with Embark July 28th requested a withdrawal and they gave me the run around saying only a specialist can help me with this and they will contact me in 24-72 hours. Ridiculous. Two days passed and they contacted me, I submitted my withdrawal documents on July 31st and was contacted August 6th!! by the specialist telling me MY name is incorrect on the form and because they believe I misspelled my name they will not submit my form, like I don't know my own name. This company is a joke. It is now Aug 11th and I haven't heard back from them since Aug 6th and my withdrawal has not yet been submitted. Stay away from this company. Especially Customer Success Representative - Jasneet

Horrible institution all around
Horrible institution all around. We had two accounts for our two sons, one from 2015 and one from 2018. Last year we noticed that the accounts actually lost money, even at the heigh of the market. It took us a year to get our money out, and we couldn't do it until we got another institution involved. So, Had we invested in GIC since the beginning, we would have had about $10K more. Horrible, Horrible people. Stay away and note that you cannot put reviews on Google!

Rejected the VOE from Glenn Gould…
Rejected the VOE from Glenn Gould School, have to resubmit letter. The withdrawal is delayed further.
August 6, 2025
Reply from Embark
We are sorry to hear your withdrawal was delayed. To clarify, the Verification of Enrollment (VOE) is an important document that confirms a student’s official enrollment in a program. This is required by the government for release of Education Assistance Payments as it includes government grants that only students are eligible for. Please note, a letter of acceptance does not qualify as this does not prove an individual actually enrolled in the program (one could receive acceptance letters from numerous institutions and not attend any program). We recommend resubmitting a valid VOE as soon as possible to avoid any further delays. Let us know if you need any assistance—we’re here to help!
They explained how to refer people to…
They explained how to refer people to Embark, which was helpful. I was especially happy to learn that my money had been safely kept for 18 years. I truly hope I will receive it, and that it will help my child pursue their education with the peace of mind that the fees are covered.
The person I spoke with was very calm and patient, taking the time to explain everything I needed to know. I also appreciated being able to follow the process closely with their support.
