What is the Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
The Canada Pension Plan is a social insurance program designed to provide financial support to Canadians during their retirement years. Most working Canadians contribute to the CPP, which then provides them with a monthly retirement pension, as well as other benefits such as disability benefits and survivor benefits for their eligible dependents. The amount you receive from your CPP pension depends on several factors, including your total contributions and the age at which you decide to start receiving benefits.
How to Receive CPP Payments
If you’re eligible to receive CPP payments, you have a few options for how to receive them. The most convenient method is through direct deposit into your bank account, ensuring that you receive your payment on time without having to visit the bank or wait for a cheque to clear. You can sign up for direct deposit through your “My Service Canada Account” online or by contacting Service Canada directly.
