The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a social insurance program that provides retirement income to eligible Canadians. It is funded by contributions from employees, employers, and self-employed individuals. The amount of CPP benefits that you receive is based on your contributions and the length of time that you have been contributing to the program.
To apply for CPP benefits, you must be at least 60 years old and have made at least one valid contribution to the program. You can apply for CPP benefits online, by phone, or by mail. The application process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes to complete. Once you have applied for CPP benefits, you will receive a decision within 8 weeks.
