The Old Age Security (OAS) pension is a monthly payment you can get if you are 65 and older.
In most cases, Service Canada will be able to automatically enroll you for the OAS pension if sufficient information is available. Service Canada will inform you if you have been automatically enrolled.
If you did not receive any letter about the OAS pension the month after you turned 64, you may need to apply for the OAS pension.
