Special Mining Pension Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Understand how former underground and surface mine workers can access specialized pension calculations based on their years of service.

This scheme provides specialized pension benefits for individuals who have worked in the mining industry.

Who it's for

This is for former workers who spent their careers in either underground or surface mining operations.

What you get

You receive a pension calculated specifically to account for your years of service and the physical hardships associated with mining work.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but you must provide official documentation proving your employment history and your specific service records.

The catch to know

When you move from being an active worker to being retired, you must specifically update your files with the CAN-Mines. Simply updating your status with the general national pension system is not enough to ensure you receive these specialized benefits.

How to apply

  1. Gather all documents proving your previous mining employment and service history.
  2. Contact the CAN-Mines to notify them of your transition to retirement.
  3. Submit your updated file to ensure your specific mining pension is correctly calculated.
