You might be surprised to learn that every year, thousands of Canadian seniors miss out on government benefits they’re entitled to—sometimes worth thousands of dollars a year. According to recent reports from Service Canada, more than 100,000 older Canadians still aren’t receiving full benefits from programs like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). In total, hundreds of millions of dollars go unclaimed annually.
