Good to know

OAS is a monthly pension for people 65 and older. Unlike CPP, it is not based on work contributions — payment amounts depend on how long you have lived in Canada and your income (the OAS recovery tax, or “clawback,” reduces payments at higher incomes).

Remaining 2026 OAS payments after November 26: December 22.
