9 Discounts Canadian Seniors Can Only Get If They Know

6) Professional Fees

If you are a professional or belong to a trade you may be required to pay a sizable annual fee to remain in good standing with your organization. For example, practicing lawyers in Ontario full-time were required last year to pay more than two thousand dollars to the Law Society of Upper Canada. Even if you are not a practicing lawyer, you are still expected to pay more than one thousand dollars to the organization every year. However if are age sixty five or above you can apply to be exempt from all future fees and filing requirements. So check with your manager or employer and ask if you can apply for these discounts, or at what age precisely you would be eligible. Your several years of service to your organization will come back to serve you as you near your retirement.
