Can I Access My Pension Before The Age Of 65?

Most Canadians believe that they are not able to access their former employer pension plans: LIRA, LRSP, or LIF until retirement. That is not always the case.

By understanding federal and provincial registrations and unlocking rules, you can access your funds now rather than waiting until retirement age.

Usually, your pension funds should stay locked-in in a LIRA, RRSP, or LRSP until retirement. For those willing to withdraw the money early, we can help you unlock the funds and gain access to them right away without the need to wait until 65!
