Getting Started/Forms

The AVC option is a new retirement savings and investment opportunity exclusive to OMERS members.

You have three methods you can choose to use to set up an AVC account.

1. Your first option is online through myOMERS.  If you're not already registered for myOMERS, you'll need to do this before you can contribute to an AVC account. Registering for myOMERS is easy and fast. myOMERS gives you safe and secure access to view your OMERS information and reports and the capability to directly edit your profile and other information. You'll also gain access to the Retirement Income Estimator and the Buy-Back Calculator, so regardless of whether you want to start an AVC account, myOMERS makes sense.
2. Your second option is by phone with the help of a Client Services representative.
   The representative will ask you questions to confirm your identity, then help you to set up automatic contributions or begin the process of transferring funds from a registered retirement savings vehicle.
3. Your third option is by mail. You can contribute to an AVC account by completing the AVC registration form:
