About Canada Benefits Dates

What We Do

Canada Benefits Dates is a free, independent website that helps Canadians find the scheduled payment dates for federal and provincial government benefits. Our mission is simple: make it easy for you to know when your next benefit payment is scheduled.

We aggregate official payment date information from Government of Canada sources — including Canada.ca, the Canada Revenue Agency, Service Canada, and provincial government websites — and present it in a clear, organized, and mobile-friendly format. We then offer free personal tools like a payment calendar and monthly planner to help you organize your finances around your benefit payments.

Our Coverage

We cover all major federal benefit programs with published payment schedules, including the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), Canada Child Benefit (CCB), Canada Disability Benefit (CDB), Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (formerly the GST/HST credit), and the Advanced Canada Workers Benefit (ACWB). We also include provincial programs where official schedules are published, such as the Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB), the Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB), and the Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit (NLDB).

How We Source Our Data

Every payment date displayed on this website is sourced directly from official Government of Canada publications. Our primary source is the Benefits Payment Dates calendar maintained at canada.ca, supplemented by the CRA benefit payment dates page and individual provincial program pages. We do not estimate, extrapolate, or invent payment dates. If a schedule has not been officially published for a given year, we clearly state that dates are not yet available rather than guessing.

Our editorial process involves regularly reviewing official sources for updates, recording when each source was last checked, and updating our data when changes are detected. If an official date changes, we update every page that references that date. For full details, see our Sources page.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not determine your eligibility for any benefit program.
• We do not process applications or track individual payments.
• We do not confirm payment amounts or deposit arrival times.
• We do not collect your Social Insurance Number, tax documents, or bank information.
• We do not connect to any government account on your behalf.
• We do not provide financial, tax, or legal advice.

For eligibility questions, application status, or payment amounts, please contact the administering government department directly or sign in to your government account at canada.ca.

Your Privacy

We respect your privacy. The personal calendar and payment planner features store your selections and entered amounts only in your browser's local storage — the data never leaves your device and is never sent to our servers. We do not require registration, accounts, or sign-ins. For more details, read our Privacy Policy.

Accuracy and Corrections

We make every effort to ensure the payment dates on this website are accurate and up to date. However, official schedules can change without notice. If you notice an error or discrepancy between our dates and the official government source, please report a correction so we can investigate and update promptly.
