For the past 20 years, we have delivered the Fidelity Retirement Report with the goal of helping you better understand and navigate Canada’s retirement landscape.


This landmark 20th edition of the report explores how complex factors such as political uncertainty, growing interest rates and the high cost of living are affecting Canadians’ retirement plans and preparedness. Our survey data show that most Canadians agree that retiring today includes additional complexities, highlighting the importance of comprehensive financial planning that will allow them to retire comfortably in a shifting retirement landscape.


External economic factors can make people feel less certain about retirement, but Canadians, including your clients, can take steps to feel more prepared. Working with an advisor to build a written retirement plan that includes investments can help Canadians feel better about retirement.


Here are some of the highlights:

  • 90% of Canadians with a written financial plan feel financially prepared for retirement, compared with 55% of those without one.
  • 88% of respondents agree that retirement today is more complex and more strictly determined by one’s lifestyle expectations, financial choices and values than it was 20 years ago.
  • Canadians preparing for retirement expect to need approximately $1 million in savings to generate the income needed for a comfortable retirement.
  • Despite uncertain economic conditions, Canadians are still in control of their personal financial choices and can better secure their futures in retirement by having a written financial plan.
