Life Income Fund (LIF)

If you have left a job, were terminated, or made redundant, your registered pension plan may be transferred to a locked-in RRSP. That income is not available for withdrawal until retirement age.

However, once a certain age is reached (with the age set by province), you can transfer those funds to a Life Income Fund (LIF), which bears many similarities to a Registered Retirement Income Fund.

What you need to know:

LIFs have both minimum and maximum withdrawal limits.
In some provinces, the LIF must be converted into a life annuity when the plan holder reaches age 80.
