Withdrawal Request

Member Forms

We understand sometimes you just need the money.

But, before you withdraw from your plan, here are some things to consider...

Impacts of early plan withdrawals

Tax penalties

By making an early RRSP withdrawal, you would not only be subject to a withholding tax but also a higher income tax burden due to the RRSP withdrawal counting as income.

Potential loss of employer match

Many plan sponsors have penalties in place to discourage early RRSP withdrawals. If your employer has such a penalty in place, you may lose their matching contributions for a set period of time.

Processing fee

In line with industry practices, Open Access charges a fee of $60 for processing withdrawal requests. 

Loss of compound growth

Any amount you withdraw from your RRSP will no longer benefit from compound growth. Over the course of many years, your withdrawal can have a material impact on your nest egg in retirement. See the graph below for an illustration.
