Can newcomer Canadians qualify for retirement plans?
Rounding it up
There are more moving pieces when immigrating to a new country than just moving; setting yourself up for financial success should be a priority.
There are different types of retirement accounts available to Canadians, newcomers included, each of which has its own required qualifications and benefits.
For example, you can take advantage of both Registered Retirement Savings Plans and Tax-Free Savings Account to save for retirement.
Look into public pension plans as well, including Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security.
