2. Eligibility

Your employment history is not a factor in determining eligibility: you can receive the OAS pension even if you have never worked or are still working.

If you are living in Canada, you must:

be 65 years old or older
be a Canadian citizen or a legal resident at the time we approve your Old Age Security pension application, and
have resided in Canada for at least 10 years after turning 18.

If you are living outside Canada, you must:

be 65 years old or older
have been a Canadian citizen or a legal resident of Canada on the day before you left Canada, and
have resided in Canada for at least 20 years after turning 18.

If neither of the above scenarios applies to you, you may still qualify for an Old Age Security pension from another country, from Canada, or from both countries if you have:

lived in one of the countries with which Canada has established a social security agreement, or
contributed to the social security system of one of the countries with which Canada has established a social security agreement.
