    I worked professional from 1975 to 1994, staying at home to raise my children. In those days, unless you were a wages weren’t the greatest for administrative positions. My pension is $436 & old age about $650. My home does not have a mortgage. If I wasn’t married I COULD NOT afford to stay in my home, or would have to keep working until I die.
    I know there are veterans & seniors living on much less, & our government DOES NOT CARE! Instead of sending foreign aid, the government SHOULD ensure that pensions support the REAL WORLD!

    I'm 67. The GIS is not possible for some retirees, because of other pensions, etc. Since those that receive GIS do not declare it as income, it is therefore an exemption. Everyone 65 and over should have that max GIS amount as an exemption, added to the personal exemption in filing yearly income tax returns.

    I was born in Canada. I am 78 years old. I get CPP 205.46 and GIS $1754.14 I contributed to CPP for 14 years. I have been alone for the past 25 years, so no other income. So, the total amount I get is $1959.60 per month and it is not nearly enough to actually pay basic living expenses here on Vancouver Island... I can't live on this and I have no money to buy clothing or to eat well as I struggled all my life and have little to no savings. I have to make this income work so I have had to start selling my own personal jewelry and other personal items just to be able to buy food.

      Are you not getting OAS? If not, why? I suggest you move to a country that has pension agreement with Canada government so you will still get every cent you supposed to get for your retirement benefits.
      Look at the Canada government's list of foreign countries with Canada pension agreement, there are many such countries with much lower cost of living, in some of those countries you can live like a queen or king on less than Canadian $1,500! If you like warm countries then you have even more choices, if you like Europe then it has a few countries that may be ideal options because of their lower cost of living for Europe.
      In any country, just need to becareful not to trust anyone you don't truly know. Be smart and always on alert.
      I wish you the best.

It costs a lot of money just to move down the street, never mind to another Country. Also I live on an Island. I don't want to move where I don't know anyone at all, and could not find any place that is truly cheap to live. I even looked into Mexico but I could not get a home there for the price I could get for my home here. I looked at a lot of places in Mexico.

      I agree, you must not risk your personal safety; Mexico is dangerous especially for an old person, unless you know people there who are 100% reliable you can fully trust.
      I am not sure if Mexico has a pension agreement with Canada, if it does and you have no problem living in Mexico then there are a few comparatively safe towns you may live at.
      You should be able to find a place in Mexico to rent for less than C$500/month. You shouldn't worry about buying a place, renting is much more flexible.
      If you have too many things that prevent you from moving, maybe think about getting rid of most that you don't really need, sell or give them away. I heard Cristobal town in Mexico is decent, cheap and has a cooler climate, check it out.
      If you want to stay in Canada, there are some remote little towns with cheap rent, some towns are decent and are close to nature.
      If food cost is too high for you, try replacing meats partially with beans. You can get 10 lb bags of beans cheap from Walmart, this is how I save money on meat. Amazon has a large selection of canned foods, nuts, toiletries, shampoo, toothpaste, etc; most prices are about 25% lower than at supermarkets. If Amazon doesn't have company delivery in your area, it offers free shipping if the order is over $25, usually deliver by Canada Post.

I have looked into it quite extensively. I have been using Amazon for some purchases, especially for cat food as it is much easier to have it delivered. I have a home full of beautiful art works and personal items I inherited, so I am actually selling off some of those to be able to buy food these days. I am a survivor, so I will be okay. I have been selling my personal jewelry also to be able to meet basic living expenses. It all works out. I think for sure I have some Angels watching over me. Thanks again for all your advice.

      Everything will work out, maybe not perfect but still well for good people.
      If you sell on platforms such as eBay then you may want to buy and sell to earn some more money, or make your own jewellery and sell them online. I used to do that over a decade ago and made very good money, in 6 digits per month with eBay, but now I don't want to do that due to the stressful work and strict rules.
      Regarding Mexico you may try to extend the visa or simply go to a neighboring country for a day trip and then return to Mexico, not sure how easy it will be they let you back in, but in Mexico giving some "coffee money" to some government officials can get things done for you, it's normal way of life there.
      From Mexico you can go to Cuba for a few months and then back to Mexico, airfare was normally very cheap, I don't know how much it is now. I flew from Mexico to Cuba and stayed there a few months, then flew back to Mexico, without any problem. I think airfare was around C$100 one way, so doing that once every few months between Mexico and Cubs is still very economical.
      Once you're in Cuba you can rent a place for C$100/month, eat at government restaurants for about C$2 per meal, or buy food at government outlets at extremely cheap prices, if you can find out where the outlets are. For example a kg of bananas is about 25 cents Canadian; a foot-long mackerel fish is about C$1; uncooked dried rice and beans 50 cents per half kg; good quality real cheese C$4 per kg; large mangoes in season 50 cents; large avocado 50 cents; fresh produce is mostly dirt cheap when they are in season.
      Life in Cuba is spartan and has little food selections and materialism, but people there are not depressing or stressful, in fact I find it too peaceful. You may find a place near the nature for C$50/month or even free. The average monthly salary in only C$50, most people don't earn over C100.
      Most Cubans are good people unlike people in other countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. Cuba is a very safe country, just be on alert for a few liars and scammers, but Cuban people are mostly decent and peaceful. I personally like to retire in Cuba but I want to live permanently in a country where I don't need to leave within months. Cuba has no pension agreement with Canada.
      By the way, as I know, medical care is free in Cuba. I went to a hospital for emergency treatment of a bee sting, it was totally free, the prescription medicine was only about 50 cents Canadian.

    KENT, i am an accountant in rural sask, I have met many people, who have never worked one day, ZERO , cpp, like not a penny. many many people, i think you missed two or three main points, because I see these people every day. firstly Alberta and Sask are quite generous with the provincial supplement amounts. the Alberta Seniors Plan and the Seniors Income Plan, secondly you have to discuss credits, the gst and carbon tax has to be added to your totals. the third point is TFSA. I can give you an example, where a guy for various drug reasons never worked, he retired at 65 and his old mother died and left a house for him, he now has a house, and a max out TFSA earning income and no deductions from all the social benefits. I calculated that as a single person with a paid off house never worked a day in his life, has a max out TFSA generates $2900 net no tax per month, he is 66 now. You would be surprised that this the base case, and I see many many single and married retired couples who dont make that after working a lifetime.

      Where is the TFSA coming from? I assume that if he never worked in his lifetime he would not had any income to max out his TFSA. Perhaps he was a beneficiary of his mom's TFSA. On the other hand I agree with you that the GIS and other social benefits in Canada are not distributed fairly. With all the additional benefits like rent subsidy, almost free public transportation, GIS, etc. a senior who never worked might have more spending money than one who worked their whole life. I lived and worked in Canada 31 years and receive 4 pensions: federal government superannuation, foreign pension, CPP and OAS. I don't qualify for a GIS. If I had to pay $2,000 for a studio in Vancouver I would have much less than a friend who didn't work in Canada one day.

But, the way Canada is giving away money to other countries, and being irresponsible in other ways, I am concerned that these figures that are currently in place will not be the case when I am ready to retire in 15 to 17 years! I am trying my best to take care of my savings so that at 65+, I won’t have to worry about getting up early to go to a job that I don't love... like I do now.

    The chart you are using is only based on someone starting at 65. For each month after age 65, you will receive an additional 0.6% up to 36% at age 70.
    The rate table changes if you are 1)single, 2)married both in pay for OAS, 3) Married with a spouse between 60-64 eligible for OAS allowance, 4) Married one in pay with spouse not eligible for Allowance. 5) Survivor allowance. There are a few other scenarios, but these are most common

      GIS doesn’t increase in the same way OAS does. It is income based and has nothing to do with age.
