| Wow !
She should be entitled to certainly old-age security, maybe QPP,
and maybe other allowances such as winter heating credits and so
on. It varies with the province. Some things are administered
by the Government of Canada, others by Quebec, and some by the
municipality she's living in. Because of the amount of red-tape,
it would probably be easier to organise this stuff in person.
Someone from Montreal would be better able to help with addresses
and more of the specifics. (I'm in Ottawa)

| Note also that the US Social Security Administration and the Canada
Pension Plan allow "transfers" of benefits between the two countries.
This can be helpful, if your mother worked and/or lived for a
significant amount of time in both the US and Canada.

Is this to say that one could collect US Social Security AND Canadian
Old Age Pension?

| Yes you can if you've worked in both countries. There are Canadians
who have worked in both countries, retired to Florida, and are now
referred to (not necessarily with affection!) as "Double-Dippers"!

| 532.5 | Only the percentage earned... | 11SRUS::HEWITT | Standard du jour | Thu Dec 19 1991 12:11 | 7 |
| I would qualify. I worked in Canada until I was twenty-one and am still a
Canadian working in the U.S.. My understanding is that the two countries
cooperate on social security payments and that you collect amounts that
represent the percentage of the time worked (not necessarily the same as time
employed :^)).

| This gets complicated by Canada/Quebec Pension plans as distinct from
Old Age Security.
While you only get what you are entitled to, it does mean that you
do get later increases. Britain for example has not co-oridnated its
equivlaent with Canada, so although as an expat Brit, I can apply for
British Old Age Pension, the amount is frozen forever at the amount
it is first issued.

Both my husband and I are Canadians who have lived and work in U.S. for
15 years, we both worked in Canada --me for 8 my husband for about 10
yrs. The just of it is we both have aged and sick mothers living in
Canada who need care. If we retired to Canada -- would we receive the
U.S. pension or Canadian pension -- both -- or neither. Talking about
retiring in Ontario.
Any help would be appreciated
