The amount of the CPP credits that <span class="noglossary">will</span> be equalized is the amount each spouse accumulated during their relationship after CPP has performed certain adjustments to <span class="noglossary">account</span> for things like periods out of the workforce on parental leave. The total amount of these credits is divided between each spouse. For people who have had a lower income than their former spouse, the equalization of CPP credits <span class="noglossary">will</span> increase the amount of the CPP pension they <span class="noglossary">will</span> eventually receive.
To apply for the equalization of your CPP credits, apply to Human Resources Development Service Canada. You can reach HRDC Service Canada at:
