Well considering the fact that I have been unemployed since mid 2002 due to health reasons, the fact that my CPP income is just a tad below average, is surprising. Apparently, 8 of those years of unemployment are disregarded when calculating the CPP. But despite being unemployed, I did get lucky and found a lovely good sized 1 bedroom apartment of which, thanks to the Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI), has cost me only $140 per month for rent since 2004. Anyhow, these incomes all add up, meaning the CPP, the OAS, the GIS, the GST/HST, the OTB, the GAINS, and the CAI benefits. In my case of thus low income, I get max OAS and max GIS. Thank goodness for that.

@helifynoe9930

@@bornfree1888 Yes it is an Ontario subsidized apartment, which is partially why the rent was even below the RGI's 30% of ones income limit. Why it got stuck at $140 for two decades, is a bit of a mystery to me. But surviving those decades with less than an annual ten thousand dollar income, was not fun. So you do what you have to. You use your indoor Air TV antenna and get up to 50 free TV channels, rather than paying. You figure out how to take advantage of PC Optimum Points to the max, and cut food costs in half. Spend $100, and get $50 or so back in Optimum points value. Most folk don't know how to do this at all. When poor, things happen. Your 2004 stainless steel microwave oven dies, so you fix it with parts from another trashed oven. Oven is still working today. Your 2010 Samsung TV dies, so you just have to replace one dead electrolytic capacitor for $1.95. TV is still working today. Your 2008 Lenonvo m58p ThinkCentre backup computer dies, but you replace the PSU electrolytic capacitors for $9.95. Still working this day and can still handle 4K videos. Change the battery and fix a bug in your 2001 Palm m505 PDA. I still use this PDA on a daily basis. Repair your 1999 SCHWINN 6700.1 treadmill. Still going strong and almost looking new.

Well presented.

Great vid; only one detail, if you don't have the max years for CPP and stop working just take it, as the low years grace may not work with the calculation.

I was almost caught by the benefit clawback. I took CPP at age 64 but kept working (I needed the money). When I turned 65, OAS started. After a full year of receiving both and still working full time, I threw my estimated numbers into my tax software and was shocked to see the "social benefits repayment" amount. This was nearly the end of February, so I took out a $10K RRSP loan at 2% and increased my tax benefit return by about $2500. I always regarded benefit clawbacks as something that happens to rich people and earning enough to reach it never crossed my mind!

Glad to see this comment, Working with a skilled financial planner can be compared to having a mentor in the field of finance. I used to struggle to invest on my own and ended up losing money, but things changed once I started working with this same man, Lewis James Godfrey. He played a pivotal role in helping me improve my financial situation. Previously, I relied solely on my job and salary for income, but now I have found ways to generate additional income with ease, which has allowed me to leave traditional employment, thanks to Lewis. Nowadays, I believe that investing is not a choice, but a necessity for anyone who desires financial independence and a good quality of life.

Knowing the majority of people will not earn the YMPE amount. Why do retirement planners make videos based on that amount? The average Canadian earns just under $60k. While the median is slightly above $40k. Myself and the majority of Canadians will receive 60% of our CPP if we work and wait until 65. Why doesn’t retirement planners focus on low income retirees? They’re the ones who REALLY needs the help.

Great vid and thanks!! Question in regards to GIS. When applying for gis they say to take total income line from your tax return. This amount includes your OAS. However OAS amount is not supposed to be included in determining how much you will be receiving in GIS. So how can they accurately determine your GIS if using the total income line on ur tax return? Many thanks if you can clear this issue for me :)

Excellent walkthrough of all your topics. Very easy to understand.

I was forced on cpp disability at age 50 due to an accident and now at 65+ receive approximately $400 per month less on cpp. Also the insurance company took the amount of 15 years of cpp disability off the settlement amount so penalized twice. We should be receiving a lot more, at $ 2,ooo a month

By far the best explanation on retirement I have seen. Only one question; as a retire, Canadian citizen for 36 years does the OAS top-up to maximum as a citizen of 40 years?

I have one thing to say over Your video about this as I am on all 3. You did mention about the GIS that did give Me an answer as why Mine went down this Year. HOWEVER, It was a big shock when come to pay My monthly bills only to find out that there was $125.00 a month lower than last moths deposit & Yes, You get a notice about change, but after it's happened! It should be at least 1 Month before so that You know. This now has put Me in the hole & having to rob from Peter to Pay Paul, & Paul to pay Mary. Not happy about that. Another thing too. I have been on Disability since 1998 after My Doctor Signed the papers as I was on Welfare at the time & ended up with No say as when retirement age came as was automatically at 65. BUT, when come to the disability part, YEA, RIGHT! Only if You had very high expense's to put out & having the Doctor filling out the form. Proves on How God wants Us to be Successful but Stain doesn't. One more reason the "Homeless" rate is on the increase! Just like God has His Angels but Satin has His Demons & certainly applies to the Government. Sorry to say that, but it's the truth! Brings to Me another thing.."GREED OF MONEY!" The Bible is very clear about this matter & I have a saying for every Strike I hear. Quit the striking, quit the hiking" Only the Government wins with this.

Question about the deferral of the OAS as I turn 65 next year... can you defer in 1 year increments & adjust that annually ie: defer for 1 year at time & assess your needs annually if you wish to keep defering OR is defering to 70 the only option...so 65 or 70 years old are the only options?

I am looking to see if you can provide a quick response to my inquiry. When my wife and I go to collect OAS, can we avoid the clawback by splitting our work defined pension plan. I know the increase in the claw back amount is $90,997 in 2024. But between our CPP, OAS, RRSP, and our company defined pension plan, we are coming close to the clawback level. If we do not slip our company defined pension, we will definitely hit the clawback level. Can we actually split our CDPP to avoid the OAS clawback?

I do not receive any raises at all on the CPP. I only had one 1 small raise since I started collecting CPP at the of 6o and now at the age of 68. Plus I qualified for the GIS as my income was below 1,500 and at the age of 65 when I started collecting it. As of this month they cut me off because I made too much income so it has to be taxable because at this point my income was too high to get the GIS and now puts be back where I started from in the yr. of 2017 yup you got it going backwards.

My wife and I retired early (couple years ago), I'm 42 and she's 33, we know we're not the normal demographic and have rental and dividend income to carry us fairly soundly. But always interested in seeing/learning new ways to build other passive income streams, options for passive income outside RE/Div, or tax planning that helps us keep more of our income.

great information. u mentioned 20 yrs in Canada to get the OAS. My wife arrived in Canada at age 60. She works. Does that rule apply to CCP as well. 2nd question. 15 years ago she was a resident in Canada for about 2-3 yrs. Could this count towards the 20 yrs? Thnx.

To point out , you can declare not to have tax deduced on you CPP payments . However , this of course means that you will have to pay this tax when filing you income tax return . But this means you get to hold this money all year , instead of the federal gov having it in their pocket . Also , suggest being aware of the withholding tax when you withdraw amounts from your RRSP account . If you reside outside of Quebec , the with holding tax is 10% for amounts up to $5,000 . If you have stock investments in an RRSP that are down right now , considering selling $4,980 of them and transferring this amount to your TFSA , and buying them back in your TFSA . .

Only if you get max benefits or it's amount are very Operated for most of us

I took CPP at 60, my thinking being that I have a house that will likely become a part of a development in the near future and I'll make a lot of money, so take CPP now and use it to put towards the mortgage payments and as I'm self employed and in construction I'll take it a bit easier. When I got my statement from Service Canada I looked at my employment history that they have on file. Some of my employment is missing from when I was a young guy and employed. Also my 20 plus years of making self employed contributions seems to be missing. And also watching your video I see that also there's the child rearing provision and I'm the only parent of my now adult child and I did have reduced income due to child rearing in my child's younger years.

Would it not be optimal to wait to collect oas and cpp until it hits just below the 20952.00 annual limit so you can collect the gis ? It seems it's possible to wait to collect cpp and oas too long and miss out on the gis ?

for someone who has only OAS as income , the number mentioned for GIS is that separate and added to OAS or is this the amount the OAS gets to?

Why the bank provided the form Т5008 with only the market cost of some shares, moved IN-Kind transaction, from my Non-registered account to my TFSA account? This market cost went to my income and I had an OAS clawback. The both boxes of that form had to be filled: with a market cost of those shares and the Base Cost (ABC), so the Proceeds supposed to be a difference of those two cost. It could be a Gain or a Loss, depends which cost: the market cost of the time of the In-Kind transaction and the ABC - is more. The previous year the bank had input in the firm the Base Cost amount, but not in the last year.
