Overview of the New CPP October 2025 Payment

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) provides monthly retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to millions of Canadians. This October, new CPP payments are scheduled to be distributed across the country starting October 29, 2025. Seniors and eligible individuals who depend on CPP will soon notice their deposits in their registered bank accounts or receive cheques by mail.

  • Retirement Pension
  • Disability Pension
  • Survivor Benefit
  • Post-Retirement Benefit

The October rollout is part of the regular monthly disbursement made by Service Canada.
