The Government of Canada recently announced new Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits for part-time students whose parents are disabled or deceased and contributed to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). Qualifying part-time students aged 18-24 will receive 50% of the amount paid to the CPP to full-time students; for 2025, this amounts to about $150 per month. “The rising costs of living are affecting us all,” said Canada Minister of Seniors Joanne Thompson. “No child should have to choose between caring for their parents and going to school.” The federal government estimates that the benefit will reach 6,712 beneficiaries this year.
