I have applied for CPP and have confirmation of acceptance. First payment due in January 2018. I am working part time and collecting EI benefits. How will one benefit affect the other?
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Contributors Tables
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Contributors Tables are released annually and provide historical statistics on the number of contributors by place of residence and the distribution of contributors by earnings. Although the release is annual, the data are two years in arrears. This is due to ongoing updates of the Canada Revenue Agency T4 files prior to issuing. In order to ensure client confidentiality, an 'X' has been placed where the number of clients receiving a particular benefit is equal to or below 9. In order to avoid residual disclosure, an 'X' has also been placed where the next number of clients was found, which may be lowest below, equal to, or above 9. This report uses total earnings for each person that may be composed from multiple employers.

Hi, I just recently turned 60. I currently receive a survivors pension of $453.00 per month. Should I be applying for my CPP at this time? How does it work with survivor pension? Do the two get amalgamated so I should get my CPP now as it will not change at 65? Help Please?

I've been trying to contact the CPP department, looking for my CPP statement. However, I've tried numerous times to call but the recording says they are experiencing a larger number of calls right now and to call back later. Is there another way I can obtain a printout of my CPP payments/earnings?

Apologies up front, but I'm having trouble finding the info I need - hopefully you can point me in the right direction. I am 35 and have had to stop working due to Multiple Sclerosis. Is there any way I can find out if I have even paid enough into CPP to be eligible for it? I have been working for the last 17 years and legally contributing. Thank you in advance!

The English name William appears on my Canada passport and Canada citizenship card ( front ), however, this English name does not show on my Driver's Licence. Will this affect the application for my pension in the future ? if yes, on which documents should I change the name, and how ?

I saw the pension calculator. That is NOT what I want. I want to see the formula used to calculate the CPP benefit. It used to be on-line, and it is a poor service, and it is even hiding information, to purposely not publish the formula for how CPP is calculated. I saw it in prior years and it was not that complicated to me, even considering the dropping out provision, leaving/starting CPP early, etc. - certainly "complexity" is not that much and it is not an excuse to NOT publish the formula. I just want the current formula confirmed. Thank you.

I am 59 and stopped working 5 years ago. I am not sure if I should apply for pension at the age of 60 or 65, where I can calculate which option would be the most benefited for me. Very confused about the 8 years dropping the lowest years and the 36% of decrease when you apply before 65. Thank you
