5i Research Answer:

Starting out, we would prefer a growth-oriented ETF for diversification, such as IWF (large caps) or IWO (small caps). A general market ETF such as ZSP can also be suggested. With a small amount of capital, commissions (if applicable) can add up, and it can be hard to diversify properly with a few stocks. But we could see BN, TRI, LMN as potential stocks for conservative growth companies in a TFSA. All in, we might start with one ETF and a couple of stocks.
