Every federal and provincial benefit payment date in one verified calendar. CPP, OAS, GST/HST credit, CCB, EI, carbon rebate, Trillium, ODSP, AISH and every provincial program, updated the moment a schedule changes.
Every major Canadian benefit program, the next confirmed payment date, and a link to the full schedule. Dates that fall on a weekend or statutory holiday are paid on the business day before.

The next Canadian benefit payment is the Ontario Trillium Benefit on July 10, 2026. The Canada Child Benefit follows on July 20, and CPP, OAS and GIS all arrive together on July 29, 2026. Direct deposits usually post by early morning on the payment date.
Five federal programs cover most benefit deposits in Canada. Service Canada pays CPP and OAS on one shared monthly calendar. The CRA pays the GST/HST credit, the Canada Child Benefit and related credits on separate schedules.
The Canada Pension Plan pays on the third-to-last business day of each month. The 2026 calendar runs from January 28 through December 22, with the December payment moved up before the holidays.
Old Age Security uses the exact same 2026 dates as CPP, and GIS arrives inside the same deposit. Seniors who receive both pensions see the full amount land on one day each month.
The GST/HST credit pays quarterly, in early January, April, July and October. A one-time Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit top-up was also issued to January 2026 recipients this year.
The CCB pays monthly, around the 20th. Benefit years reset every July, so the July 2026 payment is the first calculated from your 2025 tax return, which is why amounts often change this month.
The consumer carbon rebate ended after the federal fuel charge was removed, and the final payment was issued in April 2025. Any site still listing 2026 CCR dates is publishing outdated information.
Employment Insurance has no fixed national calendar. Payments arrive two to three business days after each biweekly report is filed, so your personal reporting date sets your deposit rhythm.
Canadian banks rarely name the benefit that paid you. Your statement shows a short government label, and the same label can cover several different programs. Our decoder matches the label, the amount and the date to the exact benefit behind the deposit.
Open the deposit code decoderProvinces run their own assistance and disability programs on separate calendars. Several provincial credits are delivered by the CRA inside federal deposits, which is why a single direct deposit can contain both federal and provincial money under one label. These are the provincial schedules Canadians search for most often.
Direct deposits from the CRA and Service Canada usually post overnight, so the money is visible in most Canadian bank accounts by early morning on the payment date. Some credit unions and online banks release government deposits one business day early, which is why a neighbour can be paid before you without anything being wrong. Mailed cheques are slower, and both agencies ask recipients to wait 5 to 10 business days after the payment date before reporting a missing payment.
Two scheduling rules explain almost every date on this site. First, when a payment date lands on a weekend or statutory holiday, the deposit moves to the business day before, never after. Second, December payments are issued early, ahead of the bank holiday closures. In 2026 the December CPP and OAS payment arrives on December 22, which creates the longest gap of the year: roughly five weeks until the late January 2027 deposit.
If a payment has not arrived after the waiting period, the most common cause is stale banking information after switching accounts. Confirm your direct deposit details in My Service Canada Account or CRA My Account before calling, and check that your latest tax return was filed, since an unfiled return can pause CRA-administered credits like the GST/HST credit and the CCB entirely.
Every date on this site is checked against the official Government of Canada payment calendars before publication and re-verified quarterly. We link the canada.ca source for every program, correct within 24 hours when a calendar changes, and never publish eligibility promises or amount guarantees. Canada Benefit Dates is not affiliated with the Government of Canada. Read the full process on our how we verify payment dates page.
Dates come from CRA and Service Canada calendars, never from other websites or recycled data.
Every schedule is re-verified against canada.ca at least four times per year, more often when programs change.
Each page shows when it was last verified and logs any correction made, so you can see how current the data is.
This matters because benefit calendars do change. The consumer carbon rebate ended mid-cycle, the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit appeared with a one-time top-up in 2026, and the Canada Disability Benefit began its first payments only recently. A schedule copied once and never re-checked goes wrong within a year, which is exactly what happens on many of the sites currently ranking for these searches. Verified dates, not recycled data, are what separate a useful reference from noise.
The questions Canadians ask most about benefit deposits, answered in plain language from the verified 2026 calendars.
