Old Age Security available at age 65 is a national program and the rates vary between $476.16 and $502.31 per month not sure how or why.

The province of Alberta does not have any sort of state type pensions.

Hi



OAS is based on the number of years that you have lived in Canada since the age of 18 to a maximum of 40.

So if you emigrated at the age 40, you would be entitled 25/40 of the maximum $502.31 or $313.94 per month.

Ah, but is it index linked if you retire to Australia?
