The old age security pension

This pension, available to Canadians over 65, is base on monthly payments. To benefit of the OAS, you must meet certain conditions. This pension is taxable and you must consider it in your annual tax return.

Since this pension is indexable, the Consumer Price Index will affect the amount of your benefits.

The beginning of the pension payments is on the date of your 65th birthday.

Defer pension payments

Since July 2013 you have the possibility to postpone your pension payments for a total number of 60 months maximum. In this way, you increase your monthly payment by 0.6%, on all of your future monthly amounts. The maximum is 36% at the age of 70.

However, delaying your old age security will prevent you from getting your guaranteed income supplement.

The partial pension

You can get up to 10/40 of the full pension if you live in Canada when you receive the pension and if you lived in Canada for a minimum of 10 years after your 18th birthday.
