What is the Superintendents Register of Authorized Institutions?
The Superintendent, Office of the Superintendent – Pension Commission keeps a list (or register) of institutions authorized to issue LIRAs. In Manitoba, if you have locked-in money, you can only transfer it to a LIRA if the financial institution issuing the LIRA has been registered and is on the Superintendent’s Register of Authorized Institutions (Superintendent’s Register). For a copy of this list, contact the Office of the Superintendent – Pension Commission at (204) 945-2740 in Winnipeg; 1-800-282-8069, extension 2740 toll free; or go to http://www.gov.mb.ca/labour/pension/pdf/suptregister.pdf.
