17. Can I receive my Canada Pension Plan payments outside Canada?
Yes, provided you meet all Canada Pension Plan eligibility conditions. Payments are made anywhere in the world in the local currency when applicable and, if not, in Canadian dollars. If you live in the United States and have your payment deposited directly to a US financial institution, the funds are automatically converted into US dollars.
If you receive the basic OAS pension while living outside Canada, it is paid in Canadian dollars and you receive a tax slip to report it in your country of residence. Your pension may also be subject to Canadian income tax.
