Good to know

CPP retirement benefits are paid monthly, usually in the last week of the month. If you receive both CPP and OAS, both deposits land on the same date. With direct deposit, funds generally appear in your account on the payment date; if a date lands on a weekend or holiday, payments are typically issued the last business day before.

In 2026, the maximum monthly CPP retirement pension at age 65 is about $1,507.65 (the average payment is lower). Amounts depend on your contribution history.
