Question: I'm leaving my job. How can I get cash to invest in my own business from out of my pension plan? - live in Saskatchewan\n- from the website- 'You are entitled to the entire accumulated balance in your account, in the event of termination, retirement or death. This amount includes your contributions, your employer’s allocated contributions, plus investment income allocated to that date.'\n- more from the website- 'You may apply to transfer the balance accumulated in your account when you cease to be employed by a participating employer. However such transfers are subject to lock-in provisions (i.e. amounts that cannot be received in cash).'

Answer: Call the pension plan.  You may be surprised to find that there are fees, penalties, taxes, and other monies taken out BEFORE you see a dime.
