The Old Age Security pension is like a large "pie" that is divided into 40 equal portions. If you qualify for the "full pension," you are entitled to receive all 40 portions of the pie each month. If you qualify for a "partial pension", you will receive some, but not all, of the 40 portions each month. Whether you qualify for a full or partial pension will depend on how long you've lived in Canada after the age of 18. See below for more details.
Full Pension

Usually, if you meet all of the conditions outlined in one of the two categories below, you may qualify for a full pension:

Category 1 -

• You lived in Canada for at least 40 years after turning 18.

Category 2 -

You reached the age of 25 on or before July 1, 1977, and at that time:

1. you lived in Canada, or;
2.you did not live in Canada but you had some residence in Canada after the age of 18, or;
3.you were in possession of a valid Canadian Immigration Visa; and
4.you lived in Canada for the 10 years immediately before the approval of your OAS application.

If you did not live in Canada continuously for the 10 years immediately before the approval of your application, you may still qualify for a full pension if you meet both conditions below:

you lived in Canada for the entire year immediately before the approval of your application; and
you lived in Canada (since age 18) for at least 3 years for every 1 year of absence from Canada during these last 10 years.

Partial Pension

If you don't qualify for the full Old Age Security pension, you may qualify for a partial pension.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
