Rumours online claim the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has “confirmed” a double CPP payment of $750 + $890 in November 2025.
That claim is false. CPP is paid once per month and there is no official double or bonus payout scheduled for November.
What’s actually happening in November 2025
- Official CPP pay date (November 2025): Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
- Who pays CPP: Service Canada administers and pays CPP, not CRA.
- How much you get: CPP amounts are individual — based on your lifetime contributions and the age you start. The maximum CPP retirement pension at age 65 is around $1,433/month, but most people receive less.
Why the “$750 + $890” story spread
Misleading posts often blend unrelated figures and programs (for example, CRA-administered credits or separate provincial benefits) and mislabel them as a CPP “bonus.”
The government has even added warnings on its payment page to beware of false information online. Always check the official schedule before sharing claims about “extra payments.”

Eligibility (unchanged)
You’re generally eligible for a CPP retirement pension if you’ve made at least one valid contribution and are 60 or older.
Amounts increase if you delay past 65 (up to age 70) and decrease if you start early. These rules haven’t changed because of November’s schedule — there’s simply one regular monthly payment.
How to make sure you’re paid on time
- Use direct deposit: Strongly recommended to avoid delays.
- Check your date: Mark Nov 26, 2025 for CPP. Other CRA-run benefits (like CCB) have separate dates (e.g., Nov 20, 2025) which may fuel confusion but do not affect CPP.
- Ensure your contributions: Make sure your record of contributions is complete so your CPP amount is correct when you start.
Claims of a “CRA-confirmed double CPP payment of $750 + $890” in November 2025 are not real. CPP remains a single monthly deposit, and for November 2025 the official pay date is Nov 26.
Your amount is based on your contribution history and start age, not on viral posts. When in doubt, verify against official government CPP payment schedules.
