I am a permanent resident in Ottawa and I come from Turkey. I would like to ask about my eligibility for pensions and benefits from Canada since there is a social agreement signed between the two countries.
Could you please let me know what I should do to make my working days in Turkey valid in Canada? How could I get to retire in Canada with my working days in Turkey?
Thank you,

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your question and situation with us.
According to the IRCC website on pension and benefits with Turkey, if you have lived or worked in Turkey and in Canada, or you are the survivor of someone who has lived or worked in Turkey and in Canada, you may be eligible for pensions or benefits from Turkey or Canada, or both. You can find the full application details at the bottom of that webpage. Here is an excerpt:
If you live in Canada and want to apply for Canadian benefits, consult the Pensions in Canada.
If you live in Canada and want to apply for Turkish benefits:

If you live in Turkey and want to apply for Canadian benefits:
We hope this information is helpful, please follow up with us if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Your Settlement.Org team

Thank you,
Canada and Turkey signed a social security agreement in 2005. This agreement allows you to combine your contribution periods (working days) in both countries to potentially qualify for Canadian pensions like Old Age Security (OAS) and Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
