About Canada Payment Dates: Our Data Mission

The Problem: Government Websites Are Confusing

For millions of Canadians, the difference between paying rent on time and falling behind comes down to a single question: "When does the money arrive?"

Yet, finding accurate, up-to-date payment schedules on government websites is often harder than it should be. Dates are buried in PDF reports, split across dozens of different ministry pages, or written in complex legal language.

CanadaPaymentDates.ca was built to solve this.

We are a specialized resource dedicated to tracking, verifying, and simplifying the payment schedules for every major Canadian government benefit—from Federal CRA deposits to Provincial social assistance.

Our "Data First" Methodology

We do not guess, and we do not use AI to predict dates. Our schedules are built using a rigorous three-step verification process:

1. Official Sourcing: We monitor official circulars from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and provincial ministries (like the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services).
2. The "Weekend Rule" Calculation: Government circulars often list a standard date (e.g., "the 20th"). We manually adjust every calendar to account for weekends and statutory holidays, giving you the actual banking day the deposit will land.
3. Real-User Consensus: We cross-reference official dates with data from real banking users (via forums and reader feedback) to confirm when specific banks (like Tangerine, RBC, or TD) typically release funds.
