Under CPP rules for seasonal farm employment, earnings are pensionable from the first day he starts working.

• A. Only after 25 days and earnings exceed $250
• B. From the day he starts, but only after 30 days
• C. Pensionable from the first day he starts working
• D. Not pensionable

Answer: (C)

CPP pensionable earnings begin from the first day of employment for workers in Canada, including seasonal farm workers. There’s no waiting period or minimum days/earnings threshold to start CPP contributions for this group. Contributions are required on insurable earnings up to the yearly maximum, starting from day one of the job, which builds CPP credits over time. The other ideas imply a delay or a lack of pensionability, but CPP rules for seasonal farm work do not include those thresholds.
