PLEASE READ BELOW TOPIC AND ANSWER ME,
IS IT INDIA HAS SOCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH CANADA FOR GETTING THE OLD AGE SECURITY PENSION ?


Who can receive the Old Age Security pension?

We look at two things to determine if you can receive the Old Age Security pension: your age and your years of residence in Canada.

If you fall into either of the categories below, you may be eligible to receive the Old Age Security pension.

Category 1 - People living in Canada

You are 65 or older.
You live in Canada and are a Canadian citizen or a legal resident at the time your pension is approved.
You lived in Canada for at least 10 years after reaching age 18.
Category 2 - People living outside Canada

You are 65 or older.
You left the country and you were a Canadian citizen or a legal resident of Canada when you left.
You lived in Canada for at least 20 years after reaching age 18.
If you do not fall into either of these two categories, you may still qualify for a pension since Canada has social security agreements with many countries. If you have lived in one of these countries or contributed to its social security system, you may qualify for a pension from that country, from Canada or from both countries.

Dear Bantwalji,

1.You could've continued this thread in the earlier thread of yours in place of starting a new one.

2.Is your thread asking a question or making a statement ?.

3.The concept of Social Security is an alien concept to India. In India you get pension based on your service from your organization which in turn is paid into a trust like LIC or private MF's. You could also get PF, PPF or related investment which based on your employment. The equivalent here is called CPP(Canadian Pension Plan).This concept exists in North America, Europe and in countries like China, Japan and other developed nations. For Eg:Germany has Social Security and it has an agreement with Canada. While India does not have social security and hence ...........................................(you could complete the sentence).

4.Whenever you hear/read/get to know something about Canada, please always check/recheck/countercheck like our own David Letterman in the CBS late night show and please always read the Fine Print in anything and everything related to CANADA.

Good Luck !.

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"
