Canada Savings Bonds Redemption

From October to April you can invest in Canada savings bonds (CSB). Canada savings bonds have been in existence since 1946 under the name of "Victory Bonds." There are two forms of Canada savings bonds. You can get a Canada savings bond, and a Canada premium bond. Both the CSB and the CPB are backed by the Canadian government. Both bonds are very similar.
