Enrolment & Registration Authorization

I request that Manulife Financial enrol me as a member in the plan and register me in a Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and (for Quebec registration only) a Retirement Savings Plan under and for the purposes of applicable regulations in respect of the Taxation Act (Quebec).

I understand that any benefit payments out of an RSP will be taxable to the recipient to the extent prescribed by the Income Tax Act (Canada) or the Taxation Act (Quebec), whichever is applicable.

I hereby authorize the plan sponsor/employer, which if this is a Spousal RSP, my spouse's employer, to remit payroll and/or lump sum contributions and to deliver directions or requests to Manulife Financial on my behalf.

If applicable, I hereby request that Manulife Financial accept the transfer of my locked-in pension funds into the plan in accordance with the supplementary Locked-in Retirement Account agreement or locking-in addendum. With respect to such funds, I understand that terms of the Locked-In Retirement Account agreement or locking-in addendum will override the terms of the group RSP contract, where applicable.

I understand that withdrawals may be restricted under the terms of the plan.

I hereby certify that the information I am providing is correct to the best of my knowledge.
