Yes you can, it is an easy transfer. Ask your new advisor or institution to help you through it. You will need a T2033 from to complete it.

Yes, you can transfer your spousal RRSP account to a different financial institution. Open an account in the institution you would like your spousal RRSP to be transferred to, and fill out the transfer form. Depending on the value of your account, the new institution may reimburse you the transfer fee.

At the risk of being accused of pedantry, your spouse is the planholder so he/she must initiate the transfer. Unless there's a POA in place, you don't control the funds.

Absolutely can. The forms should be online on either financial institution site.

Check first if any fees and then have new fin inst agree to refund

2022: BOC raised 2 times and MCAP raised its prime next day.
2017 to 2018: BOC raised rates 5 times and MCAP raised its prime next day each time.
2020: BOC dropped rates 3 times and MCAP waited to drop its prime to include all 3 drops.
