Special Edition 5: What is the Canadian Physicians’ Pension Plan (Question from accountants)?

Author: Vu Kiet Tran September 1, 2023 Duration: 40:23
We all Canadian physicians have been yearning for a pension plan for the profession for approximately 120 years. No one has taken the time or given the effort to create one for us. That time has come. I, the co-founder of the Canadian Physicians' Pension Plan, have designed one that meet the needs of Canadian physicians. It is designed specifically for us.  98% of us are in RRSP, a vehicle designed for middle income individuals. It is not the ideal retirement vehicle and tax tool for Canadian physicians. A pension plan is. Here is why.   If you have any comments or feedback, please email me at hmfhd2020@gmail.com   If you want to understand more about the Canadian Physicians' Pension Plan, please visit www.canadianphysicianspensionplan.ca
