Your pension is for your retirement, but there may be times when you need to partially or fully withdraw it.

If you have reached your retirement eligibility age, you may begin the process of accessing your pension benefits through a Retirement Savings Arrangement (RSA) or life annuity. For more information on this, check out our blog What to expect when you retire.
