Can You Collect CPP and OAS While Living Abroad?

Описание: Most Canadians don’t realize you can still collect Canadian pension payments while living abroad — but some benefits can stop if you miss a key rule. In this video, I break down what happens to CPP, OAS, and GIS when you leave Canada, and how to avoid losing payments.

What you’ll learn:
When OAS can keep paying outside Canada (and when it can stop)
The 20-year OAS rule after age 18 (plus social security agreement exceptions)
Why CPP can be paid abroad (it’s based on contributions, not residency)
Why GIS usually doesn’t continue if you live outside Canada
A simple checklist before you move
