Hi, I have about 10 years pensionable service in total in the UK police, is it worth transferring to my Canadian federal pension scheme, and is there a time deadline of when I have to do it by?

Has anyone who has gone from UK to Canada done this? Are there any setbacks?

Hi,

I transferred my 19 year UK police pension to a QROPS RRSP over here in Canada.

There are pros and cons to it, ultimately I know I won't be returning to the UK, so it was easy decision to make to transfer it over.

There are plenty of threads on this site specifically for this topic. I used Sterlingadvisory, a guy called Mark Walker who is a brit living in BC, he deals with these pension transfers all the time.

If you need anymore, just let me know.

Thanks, Nige.

yes the contact for this gentleman you recommend would be useful, if you are prepared to PM it to me, I would be most grateful (email, website, whatever).

I don't want to miss any deadlines for transferring it over.
