Fortunately, non-residents of Canada typically remain eligible for CPP and OAS payments. (It should be noted, though, that in order to receive OAS payments, Canadians living in the US must have lived in Canada for at least 20 years after turning 18.)
If you earned Social Security benefits, you can visit or live in most foreign countries and still receive payments.
If you receive Canadian retirement or pension benefits while living in the US, you should report them on form 1040 or a 1040A (depending on which one you're filing).
The agreement with Canada helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the Social Security system of one or both countries.
