The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has officially released the November 2025 CRA payout schedule, bringing relief and clarity to millions of Canadians. This month includes six major federal payments designed to support individuals, families, seniors, and low-income groups across the country. From GST/HST credits to Old Age Security and the Canada Child Benefit, November promises a steady flow of financial assistance. Below, you’ll find a complete breakdown of each major payout, its eligibility, and expected deposit date — all explained in simple, clear language.
CRA November 2025 Payment Dates for Canadians
Canadians receiving monthly support from the Canada Revenue Agency can expect several key benefits to arrive this November. Each program has its own payment schedule, ensuring funds are distributed fairly and efficiently. Most payments are made via direct deposit, while mailed cheques may take up to five business days longer. Here’s what to expect this month — from Old Age Security to the Canada Workers Benefit — along with the exact payout timing.
Major CRA Benefits Issued in November 2025
November will see six major benefit programs credited to eligible Canadians. These include the Canada Child Benefit, GST/HST Credit, OAS pension, CPP payments, Canada Carbon Rebate, and Canada Workers Benefit.

Understanding the benefit eligibility rules and payment intervals helps recipients plan their monthly budget better and avoid missed credits.
