The Old Age Security (OAS) pension provides monthly financial support to Canadians aged 65 and older.
Eligibility depends on Canadian citizenship or residency and meeting residency requirements.
Maximum monthly payments vary based on age and income thresholds. The maximum monthly payment is about $790.16, and this can go up a bit every few months to keep up with inflation.
Additional benefits like the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and allowances are available.
To apply for OAS, complete an application form and submit it to Service Canada.
