Question: what age is early retirement in canada?
Answer: You are eligible to begin receiving full Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS) benefits at age 65. You can apply to receive these benefits at age 60, but your benefit will be reduced by 0.6% for every month prior to age 65 you receive the pension. (that's a 36% reduction if you take it at 60 instead of 65.)
