Here we are in 2024 and many of us are looking forward to enjoying another year in retirement. But it’s not always easy to do it alone…and we don’t have to. There’s quite a lot of support available to us senior citizens in Canada. The problem for many folks is finding that information. So, In this video, I hope to shed some light on the benefits and services for seniors in Canada that can help provide us with a comfortable retirement and minimize retirement regrets.
We'll talk about the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), Guaranteed Income Supplement, Disability Pension Benefit and much more

An excellent question to send off to your MP, Marilyn. I agree that seniors should be getting more breaks.

This must be a rich senior

Not sure what you mean. What, or who, must be a "rich senior."

Which age deserve for serious benefits?

@8thdecade 2 ай бұрын

Not sure what you mean by "serious benefits" but each benefit from either federal or provincial governments has its own eligibility criteria so one has to do a bit of research for them.

Do the new Immigrants under PGP get any benefits as senior citizens.

This is not a question that I'm qualified to answer. I suggest you contact Service Canada.

@@Outspoken684 As I said, I'm not a qualified expert but I'd suggest you contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on this question. Starting at your local Service Canada office may be also be a good start.

CPP and OAS should not be taxable. This makes no sense to pay a benefit then be taxed on it. The goverment needs to greatly simplify this nonsense.

@8thdecade 20 күн бұрын

Great question, Kevin.I've always wondered about that as well. Perhaps because CPP is something we paid into it's treated like any other investment? OAS on the other hand is a straight benefit as you pointed out.

Indeed. It does seem rather odd.
