Benefits & Funding
Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
The Canada Pension Plan provides a monthly, taxable retirement income to people who contributed during their working years. It's a foundational piece of most seniors' care-funding plans.
A contributory pension — the amount reflects how much and how long you contributed.
You can start as early as 60 or defer for a larger monthly amount.
CPP also includes disability and survivor benefits in certain situations.
This is a plain-language overview to help you plan. For amounts and eligibility specific to your situation, confirm with the official government program.
