Benefits of Transferring Your UK Pension to Canada

Tax Free Spousal Roll Over

Upon death, your UK pension in Canada will roll over to your spouse TAX FREE. This is because your pension will be a RRSP account in Canada which the CRA allows to be transferred to a spouse tax free at death. If left in the UK, you could be subject to tax at death and/or lose a large portion of your pension.

No Tax Liability to the UK

You will not be subject to any taxation in the UK when withdrawing your pension funds in Canada. You will only be subject to tax in Canada which is dependent on your total income in the tax year that you withdraw from your pension. 

Currency Risk / Exchange / Fluctuations

Your pension will be held in Canadian dollars if you transfer it to Canada. This eliminates the risk of currency fluctuations of the pound sterling and provides you with more control on your retirement income. Withdrawals in retirement will be in Canadian funds. 

Choosing Your Beneficiary

You have the ability to name a beneficiary on your pension to ensure that the balance of your pension goes to person(s) of your wish at death. Your beneficiaries will receive the full remaining amount of your investment because your investment has the ability to bypass probate and estate fees. 

Retirement Income Options

There is full control of your retirement income options when it is in Canada. Choose between regular scheduled withdrawals or lump sum deposits- you have the ability to decide how and when to take income from your retirement account. 

Guarantee Your Principle

Currently Industrial Alliance is the only eligible investment provider accepting UK pensions in Canada and they provide the ability to guarantee up to 100% of the initial transfer value of your pension when it arrives in Canada. This adds another layer of protection on top of your hard earned money. 

Accessibility / Control

Since your pension would be managed in Canada, you have full control of when you would like to withdrawal monies, make investment selections and decisions, name your beneficiaries and more. 

Investment Options
