Seniors and students

As per the CRA, amounts such as old age security benefits, Canada Pension Plan benefits, Quebec Pension Plan benefits, death benefits, retiring allowances, excess amounts from a RRIF transferred to an RRSP, another RRIF, or an annuity, amounts shown in boxes 18, 20, 26, 28, and 34 of your T4RSP slips, and amounts distributed from a retirement compensation arrangement shown on your T4A-RCA slips do not qualify for the pension income amount.

 

Otherwise, yes, it will be considered pension income, which can be split.
