I am a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Can I transfer my pension to the RCMP or elect to pay back the return of contributions?
Yes, the RCMP recognizes prior service with the Canadian Armed Forces. A newly hired RCMP member may choose to transfer his/her Canadian Forces pension to the RCMP Pension Fund or to purchase prior Canadian Forces service for which a return of contributions was received, provided it meets the eligibility requirements under the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act. Eligible service in the Regular Forces must normally be full-time paid service of at least 90 consecutive days. Periods of Canadian Forces Reserve service must be continuous full-time paid service of at least six months.
