Quebec Pension Plan (QPP)

The Québec Pension Plan is a compulsory public insurance plan for workers age 18 and over. The purpose of the plan is to provide persons who work in Québec (or have previously worked in Québec) and their families with basic financial protection in the event of disability, retirement or death. The Plan's future is guaranteed, due to the passage of the Act to amend the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan and other legislative provisions in 2011.
