For more information on how leaving New Zealand may affect your benefit or pension payment, see the instructions below: Doug. I was born in Canada, moved to Europe at a young age and had my first professional experience in Italy, 3 and a half years from 1981 to 1984. He then returned to Canada and has worked there ever since. Can I transfer the years of Italian work in Canada so that they are reflected in my QPP (i.e., Quebec resident)? If not, do I have any other options? Hello, In which countries can I work abroad and voluntarily pay the CPP? In addition to the 20 years that a person must have lived in Canada to receive the OAS abroad, 20 years as an adult or adolescent? Thanks to Anca Bin Canadian citizen – worked in the United States for 3 different companies (total 28 quarters), returned to Canada in 2009. Have worked for parts of this period as an employee and also independently. Currently (I am 73 years old), I am receiving CPP/OAS benefits as well as an additional QPP benefit – I am employed as a teacher, so my income fluctuates with course load. However, as a high-income person in the U.S., was there a retirement benefit for 7 years that I could receive due to the high amount of mandatory SS contributions I made while working in the U.S.? Please be aware that I am not directly eligible for U.S. pension benefits because I am not completing the required 40 quarters of employment. Would additional service be available under international agreements in this regard? What happens if I am in New Zealand and my Canadian benefit or pension is higher than my New Zealand benefit or pension? I`m leaving New Zealand to live in Canada, but I`d like to travel first. How does this affect my benefit or pension? You will receive your full Canadian benefit or pension, but no New Zealand benefit or pension. Hi Todd – I`m not sure what PSA means, but if you mean CPP, the answer is no.
However, you are eligible for a CPP retirement pension when you reach age 65 (or already at a reduced rate at age 60), although the amount of this pension is only about $120 per month (if your income was at its highest level each year). Hello SKK – Why do they check your eligibility under the agreement? If you have lived in Canada for more than 10 years after the age of 18 and you live here now (and last year?) and are over 65, you are entitled to OAS without having to use the agreement. Your question is irrelevant if your facts are accurate. If your partner is receiving a New Zealand benefit such as job search support or assisted living, any excess amount of your Canadian pension will be deducted from your partner`s New Zealand benefit. Inform work and income about your plans so you`re less likely to get overpaid and have to make refunds later. I don`t know any details about the U.S. benefits, but the deal should help you qualify. Here`s a web link that might help you sort things out for you: www.ssa.gov/international/Agreement_Pamphlets/canada.html I am a permanent resident of Canada after emigrating with my family from Trinidad in 2003, where I lived for 49 years. I contributed to the social security program in Trinidad for 24 years, including the 3 years between 2003 and 2006 when I lived in Canada but was employed by a Trinidadian company. Between 2006 and 2009, I worked for a Canadian company as part of a 28-day rotation cycle in Algeria. Between 2010 and mid-2017, my job required long absences from Canada to the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland. I have continuously maintained my PR status since the first edition in 1997, paid taxes to the CRA every year from 2003 to 2017, and filed tax returns for 2018 and 2019.
I am receiving a CPP of $1716 and applied for AEO, GIS and Spousal Allowance in January 2019. Service Canada notified me in February 2019 that I am not eligible for the OAS because I did not meet the minimum 10-year requirement to remain in Canada. My case was sent to International Operations for further evaluation. If you have not yet applied for benefits, you may need to provide certain information and documents when you apply. These include the employee`s U.S. and Canadian Social Security numbers, proof of age for all applicants, proof of the employee`s U.S. income in the past 24 months, and information about the employee`s coverage under the Canadian system. You may want to call the Social Security office before you go there to see if more information is needed.
Since the Canada Social Security Plan includes a special pension plan in the province of Quebec, an additional agreement was reached with Quebec to extend the agreement to that province, also effective August 1, 1984. The terms of the United States-Canada Agreement and the United States-Quebec Agreement are very similar and, unless otherwise stated, references in this document to the Canada-U.S. Agreement also apply to the United States-Quebec Agreement. If your partner is receiving a Super New Zealand pension or a veteran`s pension, your Canada pension will not affect their payments. Even if your partner receives a foreign pension but does not receive a New Zealand benefit, their foreign pension will not affect their partner`s NZ Super or Veteran`s Pension payments. Hi Doug, your help is greatly appreciated. I am 15 years old and I live in Courtice, Ontario. My question is about the survivor`s pension. My father has died and, apparently, I have the right to apply for this pension here in Canada and in my father`s country, Chile. My father worked in Chile for a short time at a young age before coming to Canada 50 years ago. Both pensions operate in the same way.
Be a student until the age of 24. Can I receive both survivors` pensions? (My mother divorced my father, at least for the survivor`s pension in Chile to which she is not entitled). If I apply for a pension in Chile through Service Canada (Chile and Canada have an agreement), how does it work? When I apply in Chile, among some of the documents they apply for, I have to get Chilean citizenship, which I am not so interested in. For this, I also need a Chilean ID, similar to our SIN, whose number is used for almost everything in Chile. So, just to begin with, I should get these two things through the Chilean consulate in Toronto. If I apply for the survivor`s pension in Chile through Canada, it would be the same with regard to the required documents, which means that I still have to do the same thing in said consulate? I want to avoid that. Suppose I apply through Canada, how does the payment of the Chilean benefit work? I wouldn`t worry about paying from here. The institution in Chile sends money to Canada and Canada pays me? Doug, I`m starting from some things, as you can see, without knowing, for example, if I can get both pensions. .
