Filing and Funding Requirements Prior to Confirmation of Registration

In accordance with section 10 of the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 (PBSA), an administrator of a pension plan that is subject to the requirements of the PBSA must, before administering the plan, file all documents that create and support that pension plan with the Superintendent within 60 days after the plan is established. Plan administrators are reminded that the plan must be administered in accordance with the PBSA and the PBSR whether or not it has received confirmation of registration from OSFI. This includes the requirements relating to funding the pension plan and submitting regular filings.
