June 19, 2015 – Vancouver, British Columbia and Edmonton, Alberta – Employment and Social Development Canada
The Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors) and the Honourable Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State (Finance), officially launched today a faster and easier online application for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). It allows clients to complete and submit their CPP retirement pension application entirely online in just a few clicks, replacing the online process which required claimants to complete a long and cumbersome application online, and print and mail a signed signature page.
This is part of the Harper Government’s efforts to continually improve Canadians’ access to the benefits and services they need.
“The Harper Government is committed to providing modern, accessible and convenient online services to Canadians while generating administrative efficiencies through process automation. This new online application makes applying for the CPP retirement pension easier for Canadians.”
– The Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors)
“Our Government is taking major steps to simplify and modernize the CPP application process. Now, more than ever, Canadians can access benefits online in a timely and secure manner.”
– The Honourable Kevin Sorenson, Minister of States (Finance)
