If you worked elsewhere in Canada

You probably contributed to the Canada Pension Plan. Retraite Québec will take into account contributions made to both plans in determining entitlement to benefits and in calculating the amounts to be paid.

Where must you apply for your retirement pension?

• If you live in Québec, you must file an application for your pension under the Québec Pension Plan with Retraite Québec.
• If you live in another province, you should contact Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) . You may also contact this agency by telephone at 1 800 622-6332.
• If you are living outside Canada, you retain all of the benefits you accumulated under both plans and you can file an application for your pension with the agency that administers the plan in your last province of residence in Canada.
