The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has released its official Direct Deposit Payment Schedule for November 2025, bringing clarity for millions of Canadians expecting monthly or quarterly benefits. Whether you receive GST/HST credits, Canada Child Benefit, or Old Age Security (OAS), this schedule helps you plan your finances better. The CRA’s November timeline includes new updates with increased payment amounts for eligible recipients. Below, you’ll find the complete list of CRA payments, eligibility criteria, and details about these new increases that will affect millions across the country.
CRA Direct Deposit Schedule for November 2025
The CRA’s November 2025 Direct Deposit Schedule includes multiple payments such as Canada Child Benefit, GST/HST Credit, and Old Age Security. These payments are usually processed on fixed dates to ensure consistency and transparency for recipients. For November, the CRA will deposit funds between November 8 and November 28, depending on the benefit type. Each benefit is transferred directly into your registered bank account, making it faster and more secure. Canadians are advised to verify their CRA My Account to confirm the exact deposit dates and ensure their banking details are up to date.
Eligibility for CRA Payments in November 2025
To receive any CRA direct deposit payment, recipients must meet the program-specific eligibility set by the agency. For instance, the Canada Child Benefit requires dependent children under 18, while the GST/HST Credit depends on annual income thresholds. Similarly, seniors aged 65 or above qualify for OAS payments, and low-income individuals may also receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). Meeting filing deadlines for the 2024 tax return is crucial, as CRA payments are calculated based on that information. Canadians can use the CRA eligibility checker tool online to confirm qualification status before November deposits are issued.
New Increases and Adjustments in CRA Benefits
November 2025 brings significant increases across major CRA benefits to support Canadians amid inflation. The Canada Child Benefit has seen an average monthly increase of $30 per child, while OAS recipients aged 75 and older will notice an extra 3% boost. Similarly, the GST/HST Credit has been indexed for inflation, ensuring low and middle-income families receive higher relief. These adjustments are part of the government’s cost-of-living support measures aimed at improving affordability. The CRA ensures that all updated amounts are automatically reflected in November’s Direct Deposit payments without the need for reapplication.
Summary and Key Takeaways
The CRA’s November 2025 payment schedule ensures timely assistance for millions of Canadians relying on government support programs. With updated benefit rates, secure direct deposits, and clear payment timelines, recipients can better plan their household expenses. Whether it’s the Canada Child Benefit for parents, OAS for seniors, or GST/HST relief for low-income earners, the CRA continues to make payments more efficient and predictable.
