All these adjustments are being carried out on the basis of the rise in cost of living and this is the final adjustment at present before the revision by inflation as per July 2025. This is very significant to the millions of elderly people who will based their expendable and budgetary allowances on these payments on a regular month to month basis.

• OAS (65-74 years): He or she will get 727.67 per month.
• OAS (age above 75): They are to get \$800.44 every month, it will have a permanent addition of 10 percent since 2022.

In order to get CPP (Canada Pension Plan), one should be 60 years old and had made legitimate contributions since the period. Meanwhile, OAS (Old Age Security) eligibility comes in age of 65 years and is resolved rather not on work history but on a residence history in Canada.

The two schemes are both regarded as foundation of basic income among senior citizens in Canada. They are also updated once in a while to enable them match the changes in the economy.

What will happen in July 2025?

As of July 2025, the CPP and OAS payment level will be adjusted on the basis of Consumer Price Index (CPI). Even though the percentage is not announced at the moment only, preliminary estimates suggest that this increase might reach up to approximately 1%.

This growth is in line with government policy whereby, the government makes sure that the income of the retired citizens retains its real value over a given time and such persons are not subjected to the hazards of inflation.

Conclusion: Stability and Security for Seniors

As September 2025 approaches, where the CPI-based revision will be unleashed, all the retirees should be fully informed of this news to ensure that every dollar is going to be worth something in the old age.
