Deferring government benefits past age 65 means eventually receiving higher payouts. But in the following situations, you’d be well advised to take Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security as soon as you can after you retire:
You’re in poor health. The age-adjustment factors that reward you for deferring government benefits are meant to be “actuarially neutral,” which means they are intended to provide no major financial advantage or disadvantage if you have average life expectancy. However, if you think you have reduced life expectancy because of poor health, then consider starting benefits as soon as you’re eligible.
You had several low-income years during your career. CPP calculations are based on averaging your contributions and “pensionable earnings” from age 18 until you start taking the benefit.

How we rank
More coming soon

(Concordia University)
Our MBA ranking emphasizes value for money. An MBA is an investment in yourself, and you should get a decent return. Therefore, we screen for programs that provide a good classroom experience that doesn’t remove you from the workforce for an extended period, produce a decent salary bump compared with tuition and put a recognizable name on your resumé.
The Canadian Business Top 10 relies on a mix of self-reported quantitative data from MBA programs and independent qualitative data. Weighting is as follows:

25% reputation (see below)
25% salary boost (pre- and post-degree)
15% classroom experience (student-teacher ratio and cohort diversity)
10% average GMAT scores
10% tuition (lower is better)
10% required work experience (more is better)
5% program length (shorter is better)…

LONDON – Payday lender Wonga has agreed to write off the debts of 330,000 people it admits shouldn’t have gotten loans in the first place.
Britain’s biggest payday lender announced the move Thursday after striking an agreement with the Financial Conduct Authority which will require significant changes in the way it does business. The customers affected are those in excess of 30 days behind in their payments and who would not have fit the company’s new lending criteria.
Another 45,000 customers who are up to 29 days behind will be able to repay their debt without interest.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who has criticized the industry, praised the move, saying it was an effort to put right some of the things that have gone wrong in the past.
