I am going to apply for OAS, may I know whether proof of Canadian citizenship copy must be certified by a third party while submiiting the application? Please advise, thanks.
So CPP max was only be around 700 per month. After raising the 14% contributions, how much will this max go up? If I were not able to get any GIS from the beginning, will this change be beneficial to me?
The data for 2024 has not come out yet. But the 14% increase is going to complete in 2025, so we don't know how much the max will increase by. Based on past date, the benefits would be adjusted by 2% every yr to compensate for inflation. I would assume the income threshold for OAS and GIS will increase as well. In that case, you might have better chance to receive GIS.
