Why has the address on my OAS/CPP T4 been changed from French to English (or vice versa)?
We put our OAS and CPP mailing list through a process that standardizes the way the addresses are written. This helps Canada Post deliver our cheques and statements faster. It also saves taxpayers money as we can take advantage of special Canada Post discounts. The addressing standard requires that all addresses comply with the language standards provided to Canada Post by the province or municipality where you live. As a result, some addresses were changed from English to French, and some others from French to English. Please note that only the language of your address has changed. We will continue to correspond with you in the language of your choice.
