What are the different types of pensions?
Rounding it up
There are three main types of pensions available to Canadians; some guarantee income during your retirement, others offer more control over the investments.
You can get pension plans from your employer, from the government, and/or on your own.
A mix of different pension and retirement accounts, combined with a comprehensive budget, is the best way to ensure you meet your goals.
