It's worth looking into robo-advisors, RBC has InvestEase...also WealthSimple I think - I haven't used one but when it seems like its about a 1% fee all in, including the ETF fees. Answer a short questionaire to establish risk tolerance and needs, contribute cash, they allocate automatically to a bunch of iShares ETF's. No commissions either.
Or
Couch Potato investing if you want to go even cheaper and skip active management fees entirely. Just pick your bonds vs equity allocation and buy the matching ETF's. At its worst you only own two ETF's, VEQT and VAB. But there's literally one single ETF to buy for the major allocations (ie VGRO = 80% equity, 20% bonds). Do it in Questrade to get no commissions on ETF's too (I think? I don't use QT)
They're so simple a monkey could do them, and both methods will be under 1% fees. All Canadian listed ETF's so no tax issues to worry about.
