Summary

The Canadian social security system covers various programs, many of which are run by the country’s provinces and territories. In general, benefits are similar across all provinces and territories; however, Quebec implements its pension plan. The government provides financial support to provincial and territorial governments through four main transfer programs - the Canada Health Transfer (CHT), the Canada Social Transfer (CST), and Equalization and Territorial Formula Financing (TFF) - to help them provide social programs and services to citizens. Private employee benefits are gaining popularity, and many companies offer private benefit plans for employees to supplement the government-sponsored hospital and medical plans.
