How long will it take to immigrate to Canada to get a pension?

Canada's pension system can be roughly divided into three pillars: Old Age Security System (OAS), Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and private savings. I guess you are asking about the first pillar, which includes basic pension, guaranteed income allowance and allowance mainly for spouses and survivors.

The amount of the basic pension is mainly related to the number of years you have lived in Canada, and you can get 1/40 of the total basic pension every year. People who are entitled to the basic pension need to apply for a guaranteed income subsidy once a year according to their income. Those who exceed the established standards will be disqualified. This income situation is based on family income. The more income you get from places other than OAS, the less guaranteed income subsidy you can get. This allowance is mainly paid to low-income spouses aged 60 to 64. It is used to ensure that the income of this couple reaches the same level as that of couples who are both over 65 years old. Survivor's allowance is for low-income widows aged 60-64.

As for how much you can get in the future, no one can accurately answer. Because OAS has to adjust the payment ratio according to the change of CPI, it is impossible to predict the specific figures.

CPP pension is a monthly benefit paid to Canadian pension plan payers, which is related to your payment amount, payment time and retirement age.

When you say spouse pension, you should mean survivor pension, which is paid monthly to the survivors of the deceased payer or the legally recognized partner.
