CCB payment date November 2026: Nov. 20; CPP and OAS Nov. 26

The Canada Child Benefit will be paid on Friday, Nov. 20, 2026, and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) payments arrive on Thursday, Nov. 26, according to the Government of Canada benefits payment calendar. No GST/HST credit payment is scheduled in November.

Updated October 19, 2026: All dates re-checked against the Canada.ca benefits calendar and the Canada Revenue Agency payment-dates page. Added December 2026 dates and answers on the GST/HST credit.

The Canada Revenue Agency’s payment-dates page gives the same CCB date and lists several provincial and territorial programs the agency pays. The table below pulls the November dates together, with December dates for planning.

November and December 2026 payment dates table

All of the November dates fall on weekdays, so none is moved by a weekend.

When is the CCB paid in November 2026?

The CCB is paid Friday, Nov. 20, the CRA said. The next payment is Friday, Dec. 11, which is earlier than the usual date around the 20th, so families budgeting for December should plan around the earlier deposit.

When are CPP and OAS paid in November 2026?

CPP and OAS are both paid Thursday, Nov. 26, according to the Canada.ca calendar. The Guaranteed Income Supplement is paid with OAS, so recipients should expect it the same day. The December CPP and OAS payment comes on Tuesday, Dec. 22, ahead of the holidays.

Is there a GST/HST credit payment in November 2026?

No. The CRA lists GST/HST credit payments on Jan. 5 and April 2 this year, and none for November or December. The agency lists the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit on July 3 and Oct. 5, and the Advanced Canada Workers Benefit on Jan. 12, July 10 and Oct. 9, so none of those is scheduled for November either. The CRA had not posted a January 2027 GST/HST credit date as of Oct. 19.

Provincial payments in November

The Ontario Trillium Benefit is paid monthly, on Nov. 10 and Dec. 10, the CRA said. Our Ontario Trillium Benefit guide explains who qualifies.

The Alberta Child and Family Benefit is paid quarterly, on Feb. 27, May 27, Aug. 27 and Nov. 27, according to the CRA. Nov. 27 is the last payment of the year, so Albertans who receive it will not see another deposit until February. The Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit is paid Nov. 25 and Dec. 24.

What if my payment does not arrive?

The Canada.ca calendar says payments are issued on the listed dates but may take a few days to arrive, and that cheques can take longer than direct deposit. It advises waiting five to 10 business days before contacting the program. The CRA page lists a wait of five working days for some payments and 10 for others, so check the section for your benefit.

Employment Insurance does not follow a single monthly date. The Canada.ca calendar does not list a November EI date, so claimants need to check their My Service Canada Account for their own deposit days. Amounts for every program depend on each person’s tax filing and circumstances, and anyone with a question about a specific payment can check CRA My Account or My Service Canada Account.

Canada News Media published the equivalent guide for October benefit dates, and covered the one-time payout in what recipients of the groceries benefit would receive. Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, is a CRA holiday; our Remembrance Day guide covers what is open.
