Bulletins
The Registered Plans Directorate publishes Compliance Bulletins to make administrators and their agents aware of compliance issues we have seen in the review of registered plans. These are intended to help administrators to determine whether their plan is compliant and to permit them to take corrective action if necessary.
We publish Actuarial Bulletins to make pension plan consultants and actuaries aware of actuarial issues we have seen in the review of funding requests for employer sponsored registered pension plans. These are intended to help actuaries to determine whether their valuation methodology is compliant and to permit them to take corrective action if necessary.
We publish registered education savings plans Bulletins to discuss issues that arise from time to time with regards to the administration of RESP and the Income Tax Act.
We publish registered disability savings plans Bulletins to discuss issues that arise from time to time with regards to the administration of RDSP and the Income Tax Act.
We also publish registered retirement savings plans/registered retirement income funds Bulletins to discuss issues that arise from time to time with regards to the administration of RRSP and RRIF and the Income Tax Act.
