A 16-year-old employee in Alberta, Canada, is exempt from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI). We’ll provide more details below to address your question.

 

In Canada, individuals under 18, including 16-year-olds, typically don’t pay EI premiums for casual or part-time jobs but may still qualify for EI benefits under certain conditions. For specific details regarding exemptions and eligibility, it’s best to consult official Government of Canada resources or guidelines. On the other hand, employees must be at least 60 years old to qualify for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
