Canadians must continue working or leave. A solution for retirees is either to continue working part-time, self-employ, or to have applied for permanent residence (green cards) well before employment ends.

If you have lived or worked in Canada and in another country, or you are the survivor of someone who has lived or worked in Canada and in another country, you may be eligible for pensions and benefits from Canada and/or from the other country because of a social security agreement.

The full retirement age for survivors is age 66 for people born in 1945-1956 and will gradually increase to age 67 for people born in 1962 or later. If you have Social Security credits in both the United States and Canada, you may be eligible for benefits from one or both countries.
