Note: The information included in this summary is an overview of some of the minimum standards that apply to registered pension plans under each jurisdiction. It does not cover the details specific to your registered pension plan as your plan’s terms and benefits can be more generous than the minimum rules. It replaces the previous version that was issued in 2017.
