Matching Contributions
Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
- You can contribute up to six per cent of your eligible earnings to the plan. The company will match your contributions at a rate of 50 per cent, up to a maximum of six per cent of your eligible earnings and not exceeding $5,000 per year.
- You also have the option to make additional voluntary contributions at your discretion.
Exclusive investment funds only available in your plan @ work
Contributions to your workplace plan can be invested in a variety of investment funds. You decide how your contributions are invested. Some of the funds available to you are unique and only available to group plan members. You won’t find these funds if you invest on your own at a bank or mutual fund company.
Professional investment managers
The funds available under your plan are managed by some of Canada’s leading investment managers.
You pay no commission fees
When you invest through your plan, you save more money for your retirement.
You save taxes
Contributions you make to a registered plan are tax-deferred. And if you’re contributing by making regular deductions from your pay, your contributions are invested on a pre-tax basis, giving you an instant tax benefit. The benefit of tax-deferred earnings growth over time is significant.
Access to a spousal RRSP
You are able to contribute to a spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) through the Move Canada Retirement Savings Plan. The contributions will be attached to your RRSP limit and you will receive the tax benefit.
