Good news for Canadian seniors—your next round of retirement benefits is on the way. The $808 – $1,433 / Month CPP direct checks are officially scheduled to be issued on 25 November 2025. This payment includes two important benefits: the Old Age Security (OAS) payment of up to $808, and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payment of up to $1,433.
Both are managed by Services Canada and provide much-needed monthly support to older adults across the country. Here’s what you need to know about who qualifies, when it’s coming, and what to expect.

Overview
Canada’s retirement income system is built around two key programs—CPP and OAS. While CPP is based on employment contributions, OAS is available to low-to-moderate income seniors, especially those aged 75 or older.
The payments scheduled for 25 November 2025 are part of the regular monthly cycle. However, the max amounts—$808 for OAS and $1,433 for CPP—are only for those who fully qualify based on income, age, and contribution history.
The direct deposit payments will hit accounts together on the same day, making it easier for seniors to manage their expenses.
Breakdown
Let’s break it down quickly:
| Program | Maximum Amount | Payment Date |
|---|---|---|
| OAS | $808/month | 25 Nov 2025 |
| CPP | $1,433/month | 25 Nov 2025 |
These are not combined benefits. You may receive one or both depending on eligibility.
Eligibility
Getting the full $808 or $1,433 depends on a few factors. Here’s a closer look at who qualifies.
OAS Eligibility:
- You must be aged 65 or older (to receive standard OAS).
- To receive $808/month, you must be 75 or older.
- You must be a Canadian resident for at least 10 years since age 18.
- Your income must be below $154,196 (age 75+) or $148,451 (age 65-74).
CPP Eligibility:
- You must be aged 60 or older.
- You need to have paid into CPP through work contributions.
- The $1,433/month is the maximum amount and requires:
- At least 35 years of maximum contributions.
- Full retirement age of 65 or deferred claim for higher benefit.
Remember, most people receive less than the max. The amount varies based on how long and how much you’ve contributed.
Payment
The payment date for both OAS and CPP is 25 November 2025, which falls on a Thursday. Services Canada deposits both benefits on the same day each month to simplify pension scheduling.
This setup helps pensioners align budgeting with regular income, especially those managing bills and daily expenses on a fixed budget.
If you haven’t signed up for direct deposit, your cheque may take longer, so it’s best to go digital if you can.
Clarification
It’s worth noting that the $808 amount is part of OAS, not CPP. There’s been some confusion, but here’s the correct breakdown:
- $808 → Maximum Old Age Security for seniors 75+.
- $1,433 → Maximum Canada Pension Plan for long-term contributors.
So, if you see updates about “$808 – $1,433 CPP checks,” it’s not all CPP. It’s a combination of CPP and OAS, paid on the same date.
Also, not everyone receives the maximum. Actual amounts depend on your income, age, residency (for OAS), and employment contributions (for CPP).
Fact
This payment update for 25 November 2025 is confirmed by Services Canada. While amounts may vary per person, the payment schedule is official. The same payment structure was followed in previous months, like the 25 September 2025 issue. The next few months will continue to follow the same schedule unless otherwise announced.
