The course will be delivered in English on March 9&10 from 9 am to 3:30 pm eastern time and will be limited to a maximum of 35 participants. Should the webinar reach that limit, you will be placed on a waiting list. We will contact you if a seat becomes available or a new date is confirmed.

Refund Policy: Refunds for individual registrations will be accepted up to five business days prior to the event. Send your cancelation request to training@federalretirees.ca.

*Note: Within our course, we only offer the Pension Centre’s “regular” pension presentation (under the Public Service Superannuation Act) for public servants. That presentation is different and does not apply to the other plans, such as the Canadian Forces Pension Plan or Correctional Services Canada Pension Plan as an example.

The onus is on the participant to confirm the pension plan they contribute to prior to attending this course. If you are unsure which pension plan you belong to, please call the Pension Centre at 1.800.561.7930. They are available 8:00 – 4:00 pm (Atlantic Time).
