CRA Alert | Your Pension Could Be Cut in 2026 | Affect Your Bank Account

Описание: Many Canadian seniors are hearing worrying claims about new CRA powers in 2026 and frozen bank accounts. In reality, the biggest risk to your CPP, OAS and GIS deposits is not a brand‑new law, but long‑standing tax rules that are often misunderstood or ignored.

In this calm, detailed walkthrough, we explain how the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) actually interacts with your pensions and bank account, and what the 2026 tax year really means for Canadian seniors. You’ll learn how CPP, OAS and GIS are reported on your tax return, how income levels can trigger OAS clawback or reduce GIS, and how missed tax filing can quietly stop important credits and supplements.

We also cover when CRA can legally redirect money before it reaches your bank account (for example, unpaid tax debts), what protections exist for low‑income seniors, and how inflation indexing, payment dates and benefit thresholds are updated each year. All information is based on current Government of Canada rules and official announcements; we clearly separate confirmed rules from general discussion or speculation.

If you rely on CPP, OAS or GIS to pay the bills, this video is designed to reassure you with facts, not fear, and to show you practical steps to keep your payments flowing and avoid unpleasant surprises.
