Financial Planning -> Pensions -> Registered Pension Plans (RPPs)

What are RPPs?

Registered pension plans are pension plans that are regulated by federal or provincial pension legislation, and must be registered under the Income Tax Act.  There are two types of registered pension plans - defined benefit pension plans (DB), and defined contribution pension plans (DC).  Defined contribution plans are also known as money purchase RPPs.
