Quick answer
What are the benefit payment dates for November 2026?
The calendar lists 6 payment dates, from November 10 to November 27, 2026. It gives dates, not your personal payment amount or eligibility decision, so check the relevant program or your CRA account for your details. If a payment is missing, allow 5 to 10 business days after its listed date before contacting the program; for a missing CCB payment, check your CRA account and wait 5 business days after the expected date if the reason is still unknown.
- November 10: Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB).
- November 19 and 20: Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) on November 19, and Canada Child Benefit (CCB) on November 20.
- November 25 and 26: Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit (NLDB) on November 25, and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) on November 26.
- November 27: Veteran disability pension and Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB). The calendar lists no November 2026 payment date for the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit or the Advanced Canada Workers Benefit (ACWB).
- CCB payment rule: If your total CCB for the year is less than $240, you receive one lump sum with the July payment rather than monthly payments.

What should you do if a payment is missing?
Wait 5 to 10 business days after the listed payment date before contacting the program, since payments can take a few days to arrive and posted cheques may take longer than direct deposit.
For a missing Canada Child Benefit payment, check its status in your CRA account, confirm your personal information is up to date, and review reasons the payment may have stopped or changed. Your account shows the next expected payment date and amount, each payment’s status, and your statement of account.
If you still can’t identify the reason, wait 5 business days after the expected CCB payment date before contacting the CRA. Direct deposit is the fastest and most secure way to receive CCB payments.
You can also sign up for CRA email reminders, which arrive about one week before a benefit payment is issued. To change your direct deposit, address or phone number, the benefits calendar points to Service Canada for the Canada Disability Benefit, CPP and OAS, and to the CRA for the Newfoundland and Labrador disability benefit, Canada Child Benefit, Alberta Child and Family Benefit and Ontario Trillium Benefit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much will my November payment be?
Your November amount depends on the benefit and your circumstances. For your CCB amount, check your CRA account, which shows your next expected payment amount and payment status.
When does the 2026–27 CCB payment period begin?
The 2026–27 CCB payment period begins in July 2026 and runs through June 2027. The CRA recalculates CCB each July using the previous year’s tax information.
What income year is used to calculate CCB for July 2026 to June 2027?
CCB payments from July 2026 to June 2027 are based on your 2025 tax information. Payments from January to June 2026 were based on your 2024 tax year, according to the CRA’s CCB payment dates page.
Does everyone receive CCB in monthly payments?
No. You will not receive a monthly CCB payment if your total benefit amount for the year is less than $240. Instead, you receive one lump sum payment with your July payment.
