Good morning, Doug. Thank you for your response. Yes, from 2004 to today, I have continuously maintained a sustainable home in Canada. I rented between 2003 and 2004 for one year. My missions abroad were an individual status, so neither my wife nor any member of my family moved with me. I didn`t own a house in the foreign countries where I worked – I only rented or I was housed in the operating camps. My accounts and investments stayed in Canada all the time and I paid monthly funds for the cost of living for my family. Because of all these characteristics, my tax advisor concluded that, despite my employment, I had economic, family and residential ties in Canada and therefore was a tax resident. In addition, these characteristics have also allowed me to obtain my public relations status over the years. I visited Asia for four months, but when I went there, someone in the family got sick and was diagnosed with malignant cancer, I have to be there. I filed my income tax return as a Canadian resident through HI Gisela – you can only cancel a KKPP benefit if you do so in writing and within 6 months of receiving your first payment. You must also reoay all funds received from CPC. With respect to Canada, Canada`s territory, including its territory, inland waters and jurisdiction, and includes the airspace above these areas, as well as the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf, as defined by national law in accordance with international law; and I`m pleasantly surprised, but I expect there to be a catch.
Apart from the fact that the pension would not be linked to inflation, there was no negative, since I did my research on the web, except perhaps this comment in a web forum: Hello, Peggy , provided you move to the United States and you do not just commute every day, your rights to the OAS will be reduced if it means that you will have less than 40 years of stay in Canada 18 and before receiving the OAS. Unless you are able to continue to pay CPCs on your U.S. income (you should discuss this with Revenue Canada), both of your CPC amounts will be lower than those you worked in Canada (your husband`s CPC cannot be reduced by much if most of his current 36-year income is close to max.
