Your Statement of Contributions
With very few exceptions, every person in Canada over the age of 18 who earns a salary or is self-employed must pay into the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), or the Quebec Pension Plan if you work in Quebec. The CPP records your contributions and reports them to you on a personal Statement of Contributions.
Your Statement is an important financial document. It will provide you with the figures you need to make informed decisions about retirement planning.
Your Statement tells you how much your monthly retirement pension could be at age 65 if you continue to contribute at the same level until then. It also gives personal estimates of disability and survivors' benefits.
