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 have always worked in Québec, but now live elsewhere in Canada, you therefore contributed to the Québec Pension Plan. You must file your application for your pension under the Québec Pension Plan with Retraite Québec.
• If you have worked in Québec and elsewhere in Canada, and now live elsewhere in Canada, you therefore contributed to both the Québec Pension Plan and the Canada Pension Plan.You must file your application under the Canada Pension Plan .
• If you have worked in Québec and elsewhere in Canada and now live 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. If your last province of residence was Québec, you can file your application for your pension with Retraite Québec.
