Canada Pension Plan

If you contributed to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) while you were working, you are eligible to begin receiving monthly retirement pension payments as early as age 60. You must apply for CPP; retirement benefits do not begin automatically unless you were receiving CPP disability benefits when you turned 65. If you apply for CPP retirement benefits to begin early (age 60-64), you will receive a reduced pension. If you apply after age 65 and as late as age 70, you will receive an increased pension. If you apply for your pension to begin at age 65, you will receive your full pension amount with no increase or reduction.

For more information about CPP, see:

You must apply to receive OAS benefits. The Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) provides a monthly non-taxable benefit to low-income OAS recipients living in Canada. You must apply to receive GIS benefits.
