Provincial jurisdiction

Your province of employment has jurisdiction over the pension legislation that applies to your account.

Pension legislation sets the rules around:

• vesting;
• termination options;
• definition of a spouse;
• pre-retirement death benefit;
• post-retirement survivor; and
• retirement income options.

Why is there different legislation for each province?

Unique pension regulations exist because each province was established at a different time and therefore established their own provincial pension legislation.
