Are Canadians more FHSA-savvy in 2025?
Recent insights have shown that a significant number of Canadians are unfamiliar with the First Home Savings Account (FHSA). However, the landscape is gradually evolving. While many are still getting acquainted with the features and benefits of this savings tool, financial advisors and industry experts note that awareness is steadily increasing. The knowledge gap is beginning to close. The largest group of contributors were Canadians aged 25 to 34, accounting for over 57% of all FHSA users1. This suggests that Generation Z and younger millennials are leading the charge in embracing the FHSA.
Why is this age group so quick to adopt? The FHSA offers a unique blend of benefits. These include contributions that are tax-deductible like an RRSP and withdrawals for a first home purchase are tax-free like a TFSA. Financial author David Chilton even called it “the greatest deal in the history of Canadian savings.”1
Despite the strong uptake among younger, higher-earning Canadians, there’s still work to be done. Many older Canadians and those with lower incomes remain unaware of the FHSA’s benefits and unsure how it fits into their financial plans. This presents a clear opportunity for advisors to continue educating—especially through digital channels and personalized advice.
The FHSA is proving to be more than just a niche product—it’s becoming a cornerstone of first-time homebuyers’ strategy. With continued outreach and education, more Canadians will be empowered to take advantage of this valuable savings tool.

Help clients navigate the tax landscape across investment types with Equitable
With tax time in full swing, you’re invited to a helpful webcast that will explain how different investment types are taxed. This will give you simple language you can use to build clearer conversations with clients.
This session will help you explain the key differences between:• Registered plans (which shelter or defer tax):
• RRSP: Contributions offset taxable income. Taxes are deferred until withdrawals are made.
• RRIF/LIF: All withdrawals are taxable.
• FHSA: Contributions, withdrawals, and transfers appear on T4FHSA/Relevé 32.
• TFSA: Helps your investments grow tax-free.• Non‑registered plans (which are taxed yearly):
• Income is taxed each year (not deferred).
• Reporting usually comes through T3 or T5 slips.

Coming soon:
Tech updates for plan members
Technology doesn’t stand still, and neither does your clients' businesses. That’s why we continually invest in technology to make things easier for your clients and their employees.
Faster claims processing on Equitable EZClaim® Mobile
Equitable Life now provides real-time processing of massage therapy, physiotherapy and chiropractor claims submitted via the EZClaim Mobile app.
That means plan members are able to find out the status of their claim almost instantaneously. And, for approved claims, they will receive payment even sooner - often in as little as 24 hours.
In order to allow for instantaneous processing and faster payment, plan members will be prompted to enter some additional information including the practitioner’s name, the date of the expense, and the type and amount of the expense, when submitting their claims for these services.
Equitable Life plan members can submit all types of health and dental claims via EZClaim Mobile, including co-ordination of benefits and Health Care Spending Account claims. Currently, 43% of all claims are submitted through the user-friendly app.
AS part of our ongoing efforts to improve the mobile claims experience for plan members, we've also added biometric login functionality to allow plan members to sign in to the app using their face or fingerprint. And we've redesigned our landing page on the mobile app to make it easier for plan members to navigate the various features of the app.
We will be announcing this enhancement to plan members on EquitableHealth.ca
Introducing InpatProtect:
Health coverage for employees who are new to Canada
For a new employee starting to work in Canada, looking after basic health needs can be difficult.
There’s a waiting period for provincial health coverage, and group benefits plans don’t cover the physician, hospital or emergency services that they or their eligible dependents may need during their initial months in the country. They could end up incurring significant unexpected health expenses.
That’s why Equitable Life has launched InpatProtectTM. InpatProtect provides temporary coverage to look after the basic health needs of employees and their eligible dependents during their transition to Canada. Your clients can recruit from outside the country knowing that their employees will have some protection in the event of a medical need, including an emergency.
For up to 90 days, InpatProtect will cover employees and their eligible dependents for basic services that would normally be reimbursed under provincial health plans, such as:
- Physician services
- Prescriptions for medications
- Diagnosis and treatment for illness or injury
- Hospital services
- In-patient services
- Drugs prescribed and delivered as an inpatient in-hospital
- Out-patient services
- Emergency services
- Ambulance services
- Emergency dental services
Contact your Group Marketing Manager or myFlex Sales Manager for more information about this new product from Equitable Life.
De-listed service providers
As part of our ongoing initiative to have Group Benefits plans only reimburse eligible claims, we conduct reviews of the billing and administrative practices of service providers, including clinics, facilities and medical suppliers.
As a result of these reviews we may de-list certain providers. We will no longer accept, or process claims for services and/or supplies obtained from those providers. The plan member can still choose to obtain services or supplies from these providers, but Equitable Life will not provide reimbursement for the claims.
Review Equitable Life’s de-listed service providers
The delisted service provider list is also posted on EquitableHealth.ca for plan members to review to determine if their claim(s) are eligible for reimbursement under their Group Benefits plan.
For more information about protecting group benefits plans from abuse, check out our articles.
