I was living in Canada for many years , they will , and do , pay me my federal pension but after 6 months they cut the Provincial supplement and health coverage . I used to go back for my 6 months stay but have not been back for over a year this time , haven't found me AWOL yet , fingers crossed , touch wood , says he scratching his head !!! LOL
Yes , they pay ex pats considerably less , not so long ago they paid everybody $ 100.00 a month if they needed it or not , that is why i am inquiring about short residency to claim the whole caboodle if i can .
