There are many definitions of “older” workers:
- The Government of Canada defines an older worker as someone 50 years of age or older who is interested in continuing to work or looking for a new job to match his/her skills.
- In BC, older worker programs are targeted for workers 45 years of age and up.
- Other private agencies target older worker programs to workers over 45 years of age and older.
To collect the Old Age Security pension from the government, you must be 65 years of age.
