What is the CPP and Who is Eligible?
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a government-run program that provides monthly retirement benefits to eligible Canadians who have contributed to the plan during their working years. It serves as a crucial financial support system for retirees, ensuring they have a steady income after they stop working.
To be eligible for CPP payments, you must:
- Be at least 60 years old.
- Have made at least one valid contribution to the CPP.
- Be a Canadian resident who worked and contributed to CPP during your employment.
The amount you receive depends on how much and how long you contributed to the CPP while working.

How to Maximize Your CPP Benefits?

- Work and contribute longer – More contributions equal higher payments.
- Check for additional benefits – Consider disability, survivor benefits, and the child-rearing drop-out provision.
Additional CPP Benefits
Besides retirement benefits, the CPP provides several other payments:
1. CPP Disability Benefits
If you become disabled before retirement, you may qualify for CPP disability benefits. These payments help replace lost income due to a long-term disability.
2. CPP Survivor Benefits
If a CPP contributor passes away, their spouse or dependent children may be eligible for CPP survivor benefits.
3. Post-Retirement Benefit (PRB)
If you continue working while receiving CPP, you can contribute to the Post-Retirement Benefit (PRB) to increase your payments.
4. Child Rearing Drop-Out Provision
This provision allows parents who took time off work to raise children under the age of seven to exclude those low-income years from their CPP calculation, potentially increasing their benefit amount.

If you’re approaching retirement, you can apply for CPP up to 12 months before your intended start date. Here’s how:
