@canadianexpats: #OAS #Canadianexpat #canadiannomad ⚠️ IMPORTANT INFO for Canadian Expats! 🇨🇦 Old Age Security (OAS) and income tax residency have completely different rules. Keeping a Canadian address or filing taxes as a resident does not protect your pension if you have under 20 years of residency and stay abroad for more than 6 months. Disclaimer: General information only, not professional legal or financial advice. Rules can change—always verify your specific residency status directly with Service Canada before traveling or relocating.
You give the government too much credit. This might be their policy but I really doubt that they’re organized enough to pull it off.

Well, if you’ve got less than 20 years as a residence in Canada, you shouldn’t be getting that pension because you can’t get that pension until you’re 6065 years old so that means you didn’t come to Canada till at least 4845

I will help it is called your portfolio with the Federal government, every Federal agency, have access to your File, Rather it CRA, My Service Canada, CBSA, E I, Canada Pension or CCIA, many thinks E I and Canada Pension and CRA are same department, but is not all 3 working differently. But all Canadian agencies have access to your files

Their computers should be user friendly in that the different levels of government can cross-reference the travel movements of Canadians

Funny how they can cut you off with some half ass investigation, but you'll have to jump through hoops to restart. Yet, as you say, the whole time, they know exactly where you are.
