I collect earnings from CPP and Great West Life Assurance. I've been on long term disability from my gov't job for nearly 2 years. If I want to leave the province and move to TO can I still collect these earnings?

You should have no problem returning to Canada.  Many Canadian ex patriots do this after retirement and are welcomed back by the Canadian government. They too, like to see US dollars flowing into their country, even if it is just pension and social security money.

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

Actually, that first answer is wrong - maybe he didn't realize he was in the Canada taxes section.  You can claim any medical expenses that exceed 3% of your NET income.  I have no way of knowing what your net income is, but I'm guessing that it is probably too high for you to deduct medical expenses anyway.  If it IS low enough to allow you to claim the medical expense, then you are in a really low tax bracket, so not likely the $60 expense would result in a $60 tax saving.

I don't know.  I think it depends on the country you are going to. I think it vests at 20 years and there are treaty provisions with some countries where migration goes both ways to pay it.  Check with the Social Security office.

You sure can.  However, it must be your primary residence for 2 of last 5 years.  Good luck in getting a 500k appreciation in only 2 years.

I don't think SSI will consider that a long term disability. There are surgeries for carpal tunnel.... it is a tough road to file for disability. More illnesses need to be diagnosed for permanent disability and SSI.\nGood Luck with your illness...........  :o)

You can work, but if your income from that job exceeds a certain percentage of your check, a corresponding percentage of your check will be cut.  Regardless of the cut, you will come out ahead always.  It is an incentive to work.  Also, if your income exceeds X percent- more than 100%- of your disability check for more than 9 months in a year, your check will be cut entirely as you have the ability to earn that income.

Did you know you have to work at the same job for at least 20 years to collect a pension, 30 years to collect a full pension and can't collect till you are 62...year after year the government takes your money and again you have to wait till you are in your 60's to get a small portion back from social security...hats off to people who worked hard all their lives and still have good health and able to work in their 60's & 70's!\nGreedy????

You have to claim any income that you bring in.  If you got  a loan to help with living expenses, you would still have to report it.  If you receive disability or social security, you have to report it.  So, you definitely have to report workman's comp.  If you haven't yet, do it soon, or you may owe Social Services some money when they find out.\n\nAdded 3/22/06- I am appalled at some of the responses to this question.  How single-minded of you to assume that because this person collects food stamps that they are somehow of poor moral character (prostitution?)?  Also, how can you make the comment that because this person collects food stamps, that he or she is just getting a free ride off the government at your expense?  Did you not read the entire question..."workmans comp"?  Meaning that he or she was working, but due to unforeseen circumstances, was injured, and now needs food stamps to survive.  Shame on some of you!  I hope you never end up in the same position...only to have people virtually spit on you.

It depends on your net pay (how much you will actually take home) and what if any benifits you have on the job.  It depends on if you get any vacation, sick leave,  or medical insurance at work.  Someone  at work should be able to tell you what your net pay is.\n\nI dont think I could live comfortable, unless you have some form of a safety net(friends and family) in case there is some unforeseen expense. For example, if you get sick or insured. will  your medical insurance cover it? Who will take care of you while you are ill? \n\nYou need to determine  what your transportation cost are.  A car repair or even regular maintaince can be expensive if you can not fix it yourself it could be a problem.  \n\nDepending on where you live taxes can be a problem or could be a benifit. The government services available in your area may include a healthcare center, providing subsidizes transportation and entertainment. When I was a student, I lived need the university and there were all sort of benifits provided.

First of all , you must make the difference between the Canada Pension and The Old Age Security Pension.\n\nThe Canada Pension Plan is payable anywhere in or outside of Canada , but the amount is dependent on earnings and years contributed to the system.. \n\nThe Old Age Pension is based on years of residence in Canada.\nA full pension at  65 requires you to have resided in \nCanada for 40 years after age 18. You must also have been a legal resident during this period.\n\nHowever, there are what we call international agreements with \nother countries that permit us to receive sometimes partial pensions . A partial pension will be calculated based on actual legal years in Canada.You cannot expect to receive a full pension if you haved not resided in Canada all your life. \nThis is a very complex issue in pensions at 65yrs. \n\nOn the other note of having so much money . \n\nIt is not the amount of money in the bank that can reduce your pension but the interest , or other taxable sources .\n\nExample : You must exceed the 58,000.00 amount in order for revenue Canada to start lowering your benefit. Above 80,000.00 amount it will probably be 0.00. \nThis called a recovery tax. The amount is witheld from your \nold age security check . It will count as tax witheld at the source \nfor your next year tax.\n\nYour friend should contact the revenu Canada office directly or \ngo to a good accountant who could easily verify this.

You would have to check with your local Social Security Office for this question.

It changed in April 2004.\n\nIncome Support is an income-related benefit for people aged from 16 years up to age 60 that are on a low income.

CTC is paid into the Income Support customer's account on migration.

It varies from one employer to the next and not all even offer that benefit.  Usually, you have to be employed there for at least 6 mos. before you get benefits like that.

yes,\nbut what you don't know is that the canadian hospitals are filled to the brink.  ambulances pick up injured people, and have to drive from hospital to hospital.  looking for a place to leave them.\n\nalso,\nin canada you pay about 80% of your earnings to the goverment.  so think about having only 20% of your earnings to live on.
