Thanks, Doug, very informative.
As you can see, if you’re thinking of applying for your CPP earlier than 2025, the enhanced CPP will be of little value to you. However, for each year of pensionable earnings beyond 2024, the changes mean that your maximum CPP retirement pension will be approximately 1.3% more than under the current rules.
In my case, the longest I can imagine working is until the end of 2024 (age 62).
The difference is an extra $37 a month ($400 or so per annum) compared to current rules (of course, longinvest's argument to delay the CPP until age 70 remains valid).
