The government of Canada has announced its intent to expand early pension eligibility for key frontline safety and security workers.
Currently, only employees of Correctional Service Canada, along with members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, benefit from early retirement provisions. These allow retirement after 25 years of service without a pension reduction.
Following a recommendation received on Dec. 21, 2023, from the Public Service Pension Advisory Committee (PSPAC), the government now plans to extend these benefits to additional groups.
