According to the report, 83 percent of older Torontonians were receiving OAS in 2020. Among visible minorities in Toronto, the uptake level was 78 percent. For those in Toronto with low English or French language skills, it was 80 percent. Among immigrants in Toronto who have arrived since 1980, it was 76 percent.
That's actually not the case. The application process for many can be very complex... The rules that affect immigrants are very different than those that apply to people who have lived here all their lives. And that's perhaps the source of the confusion.
The report aims to highlight the importance of making the process of applying for the program easier... understanding that there is such a large number of low income older folks in Toronto who are eligible for these benefits.
