Frequently asked questions

Here are some tips that might help

  • The difference between your program and your plan

    Your group savings program is the whole package—everything your organization has put together to help you save. Within your program, you put your money in plans, such as a group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a tax-free savings account (TFSA). Your program might include more than one plan.

  • Sometimes, you'll want to change a specific plan within your program

    Online, we ask you to pick a plan when you need to. If you need to use a form, pick the one for the plan you want to change.

    Make sure you check out the FAQs for the type of account you have.

Group retirement member FAQs

If you have a policy number that’s up to eight digits long with no letters in it, this section is for you.

How do I …

Get started with my program

Join my program

You don’t need a form to join your group retirement program. 

You should have received information from your organization to help you join—it could have been a paper guide, a digital guide, or even a website. This information included an access code, and you might have a policy number as well. 

You can get started online here.
