How to access the SPP Portal
Before you start...
SPP Portal access rights vary depending on each person's role: each person is only granted access to sections required to complete his or her duties.
The same person can work on several pension plans or standard contracts and have different roles. The person is granted access rights accordingly.
Only the following persons can grant access to the SPP Portal to collaborators who need it to carry out their tasks related to a pension plan or a standard contract, as the case may be:
- SPP, SIPP and VRSP administrator's representatives
- contact persons for a LIRA or LIF.
First time accessing the
SPP Portal
To be granted access to the SPP Portal, you must provide the plan administrator's representative with your email address (personal email address) so that your name can be added to the list of collaborators to the plan.
Once the information about you has been entered by the administrator's representative in the SPP Portal, an email from Retraite Québec will be sent, asking you to sign up for the SPP Portal.
If you do not have access to the SPP Portal for a plan for which you are a person authorized to send documents, please contact the pension plan administrator's representative concerned. If that person confirms that the information about you has been entered in the Collaborators section, please contact Retraite Québec:

If you have several roles for the same plan or standard contract, be sure to select the appropriate one, because SPP Portal access rights differ depending on the role.
Homepage
The homepage:
- allows you, if applicable, to select another plan, standard contract or role without having to sign out
- displays the icons that correspond to the sections to which you have access, depending on your role.
The menu displayed on the homepage can also be found on the top left of every page of the SPP Portal, which allows you to access other sections without having to return to the homepage.
SPP Portal sections
Submitting documents
This section allows you to:
- send documents in PDF or XLSX format to Retraite Québec (each document must be in a separate file and cannot exceed 25 MB)
- consult the documents that you submitted yourself.
You can filter results by subject, date, document type, etc. You can also combine search topics to narrow down your results.
Adding a document
To send a new document:
- click the Add button
- choose a topic and a type of document related to the topic you chose
- select Yes or No, depending on whether the document contains confidential information
- select the document to upload
- click Add to send the document.
Once the document has been sent, it will appear in two sections:
- Submitting documents (for you)
- Documents (for persons having access to that section).
Document containing confidential information
Any information that allows a person to be identified is considered to be confidential. For example, if you add a document that contains an individual's Social Insurance Number, date of birth, home address or salary, you must select Yes on the right of the confidential information indicator.
