What Canadian payments are affected by the proposed changes to the convention?
The proposed changes affect social security benefits paid by one country to a resident of the other country. In the case of Canada, this means any benefit or supplement paid under the Old Age Security Act (OAS), and any payment under the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP). In these questions and answers we use the term “Canadian benefits” to refer to all of these benefits.
