GROUP RRSPs
Group RRSPs are a collection of individual RRSPs where the employer assists a group of employees by handling their contributions through regular payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis.  The employer also has the choice of making regular or lump sum contributions on behalf of all or some employees on a pre-tax basis as permitted by CRA.

Investment selections depend on the financial institution of the employer’s choice.

DPSPs allow employers to set aside certain amounts of a company’s profits to benefit its employees.  With DPSPs the employer makes the entire contribution on behalf of the employee and all the contributions are tax deductible by the employer as long as they don’t exceed 18% of the employee’s salary for whom the contributions are made.

This kind of plan is often combined with a group RRSP.
