Limitations

There are certain types of Service Buyback that cannot be estimated by the Service Buyback Estimator. For these types of service please contact the Contact Us - Government of Canada Pension Centre to obtain an estimate. The following are the limitations of the Service Buyback Estimator:

  • If your service includes part-time periods, the Service Buyback cost estimate will be overstated since the estimator is designed for estimating full-time service only.
  • The estimator will not provide a Service Buyback cost estimate based on operational service under Correctional Service Canada (CSC), nor, on service as an Air Traffic Controller (ATC).
  • The estimator does not calculate the cost of electing to count periods of leave without pay.
  • The estimator does not calculate the costs of transfers of service.
  • The estimator does not calculate the cost of Reinstatement of Transfer Value Service.
