When we finally get to Canada can we transfer state pension from UK into Canada? Or is it left frozen?

Hi Nobbyc

If you search the forum there should be quite a bit of information come up on this subject. I remember looking into it myself a while ago and things seem to have changed since our government introduced new regulations last year.
As far as i recall unless the pension provider in Canada is recognised by inland revenue and is on their list then it's not possible at present. When i checked there were no recognised Canadian institutions but plenty of Australian ones!!!
Will try and dig out the mail i had on this subject for you.

I've just checked the updated list for QROPS. and Canada now has several listed so it may now be more of a possibility.

Here's the link.
