Retirement Benefits

Post by aawdi »

Dear sir;

I am a Canadian who left Canada around 20 years ago. I only worked and paid Canadian tax for 3 years.
Now I want to return back to Canada to retire.

The question is:

Can I pay a lump sum to Canada Tax so I can be receive retirement benefits

No.

You will get CPP based on your work history in Canada, which will be minimal.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
