Eligibility

Most members who are eligible to buy service can use the purchase cost estimator to get an estimate. In a small number of cases, the online estimator will not provide you with accurate results. The estimator does not provide a cost estimate for past service purchases.

If you choose to make continuous contributions for your Employment Standards Act (ESA) leave, you will not be able to use the purchase cost estimator to estimate your monthly payments. See Buying service for a leave for more information about continuous contributions.

If you are currently on a leave of absence and not making continuous contributions, you must wait until you have returned to work to buy service.

Required information
  • The type of service you want to buy
  • The start and end dates of your gap in service

 

Your employer can help you find this information.
