Finding Canadian Benefit Payment Dates
Canada Benefits Dates is the most complete free resource for finding scheduled payment dates for Canadian government benefit programs. Whether you receive the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), Canada Child Benefit (CCB), the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB), or any provincial program, this directory helps you find every scheduled deposit date in one place.
The Government of Canada publishes benefit payment dates on an annual basis through the official benefit payment calendar. These dates are set by the administering departments — Service Canada for pensions and disability benefits, and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for tax-based credits and family benefits. Veterans Affairs Canada manages the Veteran Disability Pension on its own schedule.
For 2026, payment schedules are available for all active federal programs and several provincial programs. The schedules on this site are sourced directly from official government publications and are reviewed regularly by our editorial team. Each benefit page includes the full annual calendar, a countdown to the next payment, frequently asked questions, and guidance on what to do if a payment does not arrive on time.
If you receive multiple benefits, our free My Calendar tool lets you save the ones that apply to you. The tool consolidates all of your upcoming payment dates into a single view, making it easy to see exactly when deposits will arrive each month. Combine that with the Monthly Payment Planner to align your benefit income with your bills and expenses for stress-free financial planning.
Provincial benefits are an important part of the picture for many Canadians. Programs like the Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB), the Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB), and the Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit (NLDB) each follow their own distinct payment schedules. Use the province guide links above to see exactly which benefits are available where you live and when each one is scheduled to be paid.
All dates shown on this website are "scheduled payment dates" — the dates on which the government issues the payment. Your actual deposit date may vary by one or two business days depending on your financial institution and whether you are enrolled in direct deposit. Cheque recipients should allow additional time for mail delivery. We encourage all benefit recipients to sign up for direct deposit to receive their payments as quickly as possible.
