$2,100 Increase in Seniors’ Pensions for February 2025 – Check Deposit Schedule

Generally, the finance of Canadian seniors is heavily supported by government plans such as Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) to support their financial income to maintain stable conditions after retirement. Every year, the CRA increases these benefits due to inflation and Consumer Price Index (CPI) to maintain seniors’ purchasing power for goods and services.

In January 2025, the CRA increased CPP by $68.4/month, but there was no change in OAS. This increase in the CPP will be further available until December 2025 while next review of OAS will be done in April 2025. However, there are several speculations that an increase, both in OAS and CPP, will be of around $2100 combined in February 2025. But according to CRA, “there is no official increase regarding this in February 2025,” and this increase may only be said to be a rumored or hypothetical one.

According to certain reports, from the two programs above, that is, the vast increase in CPP and OAS together as up to $2100. On the other hand, CPP is intended for residents of Canada who have earned the right to receive it for the years worked there.

It is paid up according to the contributions and the age of starting the CPP and the total period of contributing. The maximum monthly amount in 2025 under CPP payments is $1433. That OAS pays a monthly pension to seniors aged 65 years and over. However, the maximum monthly payment under OAS in 2025 is $727.67 or $800.44 (depending on age).
