Old Age Security is on its way for November, and some Quebec seniors can receive up to $838.75 a month. Your amount depends on your age, your income and how many years you have lived in Canada since turning 18.
OAS is the federal monthly pension for people 65 and older. Service Canada reviews amounts four times a year, in January, April, July and October. The most recent review brought a 1.4 per cent increase, or 3.0 per cent over the past year. Amounts can rise or stay the same, but never fall.
Highest monthly amounts through December are $762.50 for ages 65 to 74 and $838.75 for ages 75 and older. Seniors 75 and older receive a permanent 10 per cent increase introduced in July 2022. People who have lived in Canada for at least 10 but fewer than 40 years since turning 18 receive a partial pension.
The Guaranteed Income Supplement adds up to $1,138.90 a month for a single senior with income under $23,112. OAS counts as taxable income and is subject to a recovery tax once net income passes $93,454 for 2025.
The next two OAS deposits are scheduled for Thursday, November 26 and Tuesday, December 22. If a payment is late, Service Canada recommends waiting five to 10 business days after the scheduled date before contacting the program. Service Canada's OAS Benefits Estimator shows what you could receive.
