Hi,

I was told by another desi that if a Canadian citizen gets the OCI status, they are not eligible for Canadian pension. I don't what it means.

Can someone please shed some light on the topic?

Thanks.

I agree with ashedfc but seeing the economy going the way it is, donot bet on these in the long term. For long term only your financial planning / real estate / Gold investment / investments in children and that too in large numbers would help.

No way,
Govt. Pension comprises of 3part -CPP; OAS & GIS
For CPP, its your contribution coming back to you, so you are entitled to get it where-ever you live.
For OAS (Old Age Security) & GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement), there's residency requirements you have to meet, to qualify & to continue to qualify..

OCI status, allows you to live in India for a prolonged duration (maybe for ever), so that prespective; if you live in India, than you may not meet the residency requirements of OAS/GIS.

So RRSP also like CPP and there is no residency requirements to get it back. Is it true?

Yes. Check my other post.
There is no minimum residency requirements to get the CPP where ever you are.
However you may need to be a Canadian citizen. That is a whole other ball game.
Peace
