Thanks @Cdninga. I'm going back to my financial advisor at ScotiaMcLeod. I want to get the same as you - wire transfer directly to my US bank.

Could you kindly elaborate on the studies that you have done wrt taking CPP as early as possible? I’m a dual citizen, US resident turning 65 this month. Planning to delay SS until I turn 70, but wonder about CPP timing. I recognize a WEP impact eventually. What has you taking CPP ASAP?

Thx.
