The Canadian Pension Plan
The Canadian Pension Plan or CPP is a social security program offered by the federal government of Canada. The Canadian workers must contribute to the CPP during their employment phase for them to start receiving benefits during their retirement age. The benefits are given back as an income stream every month.
The contributors can apply for the CPP benefit once they turn age 60. The CPP contributions must stop once they turn 70.
