Early Retirement Incentive Program- Information and Resources

Dear colleagues,

Following the launch of the Early Retirement Incentive (ERI) Program on March 26, 2026, we have created a dedicated information page on Parksnet. This page provides answers to frequently asked questions. We encourage you to consult it regularly, as it will be updated as new questions are added.

A letter with information on how to apply for the program should have been received by eligible employees. Those who have access to the My GC Pension should have received an e-mail notifying them that a new letter is available in their inbox on the portal. Otherwise, the letter will have been sent by regular mail by the Pension Centre. 

Program timelines

• Employee application deadline: July 24, 2026.
• Employee retirement deadline: January 20, 2027.

Support and enquiries

If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact the Government of Canada Pension Centre directly. For more information about the ERI program, including how to apply, please visit the Government of Canada ERI program page. If you require assistance with the ERI application process, please contact hrsustainability_durabiliterh@pc.gc.ca.

Best regards,
