They take your money and don't help when you need it,
Edit: a representative finally contacted me to offer their apologies. She was friendly, but there wasn't anything further they could do.
As long as you don't need anything, they are great to deal with. I went to change my number for MFA and it has taken 25 days so far and it still isn't resolved. I've waited on hold for 30 minutes twice and still can't get it resolved. They completely ignore requests and when they do respond, it has nothing to do with my issue, just them trying to get me to refer people. I would never refer anybody to them. I signed up with a company Embark purchased, I wish I would have left when that happened. They are terrible.

Don't expect money anytime soon
I received a letter from the company stating the policy I had terminated (13yrs ago) wasn't fully refunded and to contact them for refund or they would donate the money. I contacted on Jan 30/26 and was told what I needed to do to get the rest of my money. Feb 5/26, I phoned because I received an email they couldn't find my account. The man I spoke to had me send the documents again, after he found the account, he reviewed all the documents, gave me a new case# and told me I should receive a refund in 10 days. Feb 27/26, I phoned back to find out what was wrong, The agent tried contacting accounts but there was no response. March 4/26 I phoned again! After being in queue for an hour the agent kept giving false excuses and stalling for time while he made his tea, told me it would be another 30 days before I received my refund, then hung up on me. Today is March 12/26 and I still do not have my refund! This is unacceptable and unprofessional.

Customer service is a joke. 48hrs to respond to any inquiries!!! Performance of the investment is beyond poor especially in a time where the market was strong and returns were high. They make it as difficult as legally possible to withdraw money. Do not use Embark! You will thank me later.

Hello John Carpenter, Thank you for expressing your concerns. Embark Student Corp takes customer satisfaction seriously and we are glad to hear from you.
We apologize for any extended delays in responding to inquiries. We are experiencing higher than normal volumes because it's the tax season and many customers looking into their tax receipts.
Withdrawing the funds for school purposes is simple and straight forward, and requires an activated online account. Withdrawing funds for Non Educational purposes requires a paper form and in some cases dual signatures. Depending on where you fall in to the categories then you may have to do a couple of extra steps.
If you have had your plans with us since the 2000s, then they have gone through the at least 2-3 Subscriber votes between 2014, and 2023 would which have changed the investment strategies over time. Regardless of whether it was Heritage or Knowledge First Financial, then you would have had a group plan, which would have been in a fixed asset mix for a number of years and not growing with the beneficiary as our current plans that are on the Glide Path investment strategy.
The estimated funds that you were told at the time of purchase was based on past performance and was not a guarantee of future results.
All RESPs are affected by the financial market, thus any income will fluctuate over time. Embark Student Corp has low-medium risk portfolio investment with the Glidepath feature to maximize the return on the children's RESP.
Older plans that are just maturing or have matured would be at the graduation stage of the investment which means it would be heavily invested in bonds. Younger plans would be at the earlier stage of the investments which means most of the funds would be in equities which would allow the customer to save more for their child.
We understand that you are frustrated with the outcome of the investment. However, since the projection was at a point in time and assumed many factors which were beyond our control and contained hypothetical data, as well as was based on a number of assumptions that could not be predicted, then the information provided on the Illustration could not be used to predict future outcomes.

She went above and beyond; especially after I had been waiting for such a long period of time. Her level of care and professionalism made a real difference. I would gladly call back again knowing she would be the one assisting me.

Maybe a scam
They won't give you any bonus they claim to sign up, they won't return emails, phone back, and won't allow a return of contributions, stay far away from this company!
Their reply under this is a flat out lie. They made no attempt to contact until I made this post they did send me a form now to get contributions back, if it's successful I'll change review from maybe a scam to just a really terrible company also it wasn't a refer a friend bonus it's a sign up bonus. Don't use this company!

Hello Daniel Jessome, we understand your frustration. According to the Terms and Conditions of the Refer A Friend Bonus, The referred person has to open an plan with Embark Student Corp in order for you (the referrer) to get the bonus of $200. If the person did not open a plan with Embark Student Corp, then the bonus would not be paid to the referrer.
Net contributions are returned to customer once we receive a signed letter requesting to close the plan or we received a signed non post secondary form.
Attempts were made to reach out to you, however, we were not successful. However, we will share your feedback with the relevant teams to review our polices and procedures.
Thievery
I received a notice to "Claim your RESP funds today!" I received it in December. The company claims they sent it in July of the previous year. There was no date on the notice nor was there a post mark indicating the date of mailing. The company denied my claim stating it had been over 90 days from when the notice was sent when in fact I received it in December, less than 30 days ago.
I feel ripped off, therefore; I declare Embark a scam, taking parent's money and keeping it.
I will widely report this.

I'm writing to warn others about the nightmare I've experienced with Embark. I opened an RESP for my autistic son when he was 3 months old (2018), but when I realized it wasn't suitable for his needs. I requested a transfer to an RDSP account, but Embarks lack of RDSP privileges wasn't disclosed. I've been trying to transfer the funds to Scotia Bank's RDSP for 6-8 months, with ZERO progress. Despite multiple follow-ups, they've ignored my requests and failed to transfer the funds.
Embark's customer service is abysmal, and their inaction is putting my child's future at risk. If you value your child's financial security, STAY AWAY FROM EMBARK.
1/5 stars - I would not recommended to anyone ever.
