Tawcan is a personal finance blog based in Vancouver, Canada, founded by Taiwanese-Canadian Bob Lai. It centers on Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) and dividend growth investing and ETF investing in the Canadian market, and documents the founder's own FIRE journey starting from 2011. To date, the author's dividend portfolio already generates over CAD 5,400 in monthly passive dividend income.
Site content is organized by difficulty into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. It covers beginner guides to dividend investing, screenings and reviews of various Canadian dividend stocks and ETFs, FIRE planning methods, tips for using Canadian tax-advantaged accounts (RRSP/TFSA), and more. It also publicly shares the author's real investment data, including monthly dividend income and annual investment returns. In addition, it offers a free, ready-to-use Google Sheets dividend portfolio tracking template that lets investors easily build and track their own investment performance. The site also offers paid one-on-one coaching services, providing personalized guidance on FIRE and investing for readers.
On the plus side, all of the site's content is tailored specifically to the rules and tax environment of the local Canadian investment market. Every piece of investing experience comes from the author's own real-world practice, making it far more valuable for reference than generic, surface-level finance content. Its clearly layered content structure is very friendly for new investors, and the free tool template is highly practical.
The drawbacks are also fairly obvious: the entire site is in English with no Chinese language support, which creates a high barrier for Chinese investors who don't speak English; the author is not a licensed investment advisor, so all content only represents his personal opinions, and readers need to do their own due diligence; pricing for the paid coaching service is not public, and the scope of services is also fairly limited.
This site is a great reference for investors who plan to invest in the Canadian market and are pursuing the FIRE goal, and it is especially valuable for investors preparing to immigrate to Canada. The site is currently directly and normally accessible from Chinese networks, no VPN proxy is required.
