As part of a marketing campaign, RBC is offering an 18-page PDF guide Locked-In RRSPs and Your Options that explains locked-in registered plans:

One can answer "No" to the question "Would you be interested in receiving financial advice, at no obligation, from an advisor?" and still download the guide.

Thanks, Norman. It's handy having all the LIRA info in a single document

. . .

That's ⬆ 'EXCELLENT' ❗

I have a small (~ $30K) Locked-in RRSP based in Ontario, that I would like to completely transfer over to my regular RRSP. According to that PDF Guide Book (Pages 10 & 11), I can do just that, using a two step process :

    Step 1.) Unlocking of funds and transferring to RRSP/ RRIF or lump sum.
    Step 2.) Unlocking of small plan balances.

Thanks Norman,

    Dean

Lucky you, Dean. My spouse's account is above the YMPE, so her only choices are a LIF or a Life Annuity for the funds that have to remain in her account after I move the maximum 50% into a RRIF once she becomes eligible. I feel obliged to continue to actively manage her account rather than accept an annuity at these depressed interest rates
