Overview of CRA Payments for November 2025
November is a significant month for millions of Canadians who rely on government financial assistance. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Service Canada are rolling out crucial benefit deposits, including Old Age Security (OAS), Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), and family supports. Canadians should check their payment dates and ensure banking details are up-to-date for timely deposits.
Key Federal Benefit Schedules
Here are confirmed CRA and Service Canada payment dates for November 2025:
| Program | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| Old Age Security (OAS) | November 26, 2025 |
| Canada Pension Plan (CPP) | November 26, 2025 |
| Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) | November 26, 2025 |
| Canada Child Benefit (CCB) | November 20, 2025 |
| Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) | November 20, 2025 |
Most recipients will see funds directly deposited on these days, while mailed cheques may arrive later. If you qualify for CPP Children’s Benefits, the payment is also scheduled for November 26, 2025, with amounts ranging from $150.89 (part time students) to $301.77 (full time students).
Provincial Program Payment Dates
Many provinces issue additional credits and top-ups alongside federal payments in November. For example:
- Ontario Trillium Benefit is paid November 10, 2025
- Alberta Child and Family Benefit will be disbursed on November 27, 2025
Check your local provincial portals for updates on specific credit and top-up schedules for your region.
What to Expect If You Receive Multiple Benefits
November payment schedules sometimes align, meaning you might see two or more deposits close together. This is not a “double payment” scheme, but rather the overlap of regular program timelines. For example:
- Seniors receiving OAS, GIS, and CPP may see all payments land on the same day.
- Families could receive CCB, Disability Benefit, and, depending on province, additional credits in November.
If you notice extra deposits, review your “Benefits and Credits” section in your CRA My Account for clear breakdowns.
How to Maximize Your November Payments
- Confirm direct deposit to avoid postal delays and ensure prompt payment.
- File tax returns on time to maintain eligibility for all benefits.
- Review CRA and provincial account portals for benefit summaries and adjustment notices.
- Use extra payments to cover winter expenses and prepare for the holiday season.
