GROUP RRSP Nova Scotia FAQ

The difference between a Group RRSP and an Individual RRSP
A group RRSP is a type of retirement savings plan that is offered by an employer to their employees. An individual RRSP is a personal investment account that anyone can open and contribute to. Some of the main differences between a group RRSP and an individual RRSP are:

A group RRSP may have lower fees and more investment options than an individual RRSP, depending on the plan provider and the size of the group.

A group RRSP may allow for employer matching contributions, which can boost the savings of the employees. An individual RRSP does not have this feature.

A group RRSP may have automatic payroll deductions, which can make saving easier and more convenient. An individual RRSP requires the investor to make their own contributions.

A group RRSP may have immediate tax savings, as the contributions are deducted from the pre-tax income of the employees. An individual RRSP requires the investor to claim their contributions on their tax return and receive a refund later.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After calling many others and 1-800 numbers all over the country to inquire about a new policy I finally found Pat McIver through Google Reviews.

I can honestly say Pat is very thorough and extremely helpful with any and all questions we had, and very prompt with his replies and phone calls unlike many others out there.

Give Pat a call, he knows his business well and we are very happy to have found him to handle our new policy with a fantastic rate.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience working with Pat McIver at McIver Insurance. Pat was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my needs, explained my options clearly, and made sure I understood the coverage before making any decisions.
What impressed me most was how responsive and personable Pat was. He made what can often be a complicated and stressful process feel simple and straightforward. I never felt pressured, and I felt that he genuinely had my best interests in mind.
I would highly recommend Pat McIver to anyone looking for an insurance broker. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to his clients make him someone I would confidently recommend to family and friends.
