Old Age Security pension - At the age of 65
If you have reached the age of 65 years during the tax year, in
the month following your 65th birthday, you are entitled to receive
the payments for the OAS (Old age security) pension, provided that
you have made the request.
However, since July 2013, you can defer the first payment of
your Old Age Security pension for up to 60 months (5 years).
If you choose to defer your OAS, you will receive a higher
amount that is 0.6 % for each month you defer the payment of your
pension.
