About the Fidelity Retirement Report
This study was commissioned by Fidelity Canada and fielded between January 27 and February 12, 2026.
This is the 21st year the report has been conducted.
- We surveyed a disproportionate sample of pre-retirees and retirees to allow for analysis by segments like gender and region.
- The results were then weighted to reflect the national proportionate distribution of those 45 years of age and older.
Total sample results are accurate to +/- 2.31 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding.
