Senior citizens can expect a monthly taxable amount to be deposited directly into their bank accounts. The CRA will initiate the pension after reviewing the tax return filings, both for single and joint tax return filers. To receive pensionable benefits, it’s essential to submit the tax return document to the CRA.
To qualify for the pension, a minimum contribution of 1 is required, contributed both by the worker and the employer when the retiree is an adult and actively working. The pensionable amount will be determined based on these contributions and the total earnings of the individual in Canada.
