Applying for OAS for Parents after Sponsoring

Can you please let me know how is 10 year requirement calculated on the application.
My 10 years of parents' sponsorship in Canada is coming up soon based on calendar months/years.
However, During these 10 years they've been in and out of Canada quite often due to attending to a sick relative back home (although, they did spend enough time here to keep their PR status).
Now, the question: Is the total time calculated based on the number of actual years/months spent residing in Canada or calendar years.
I would greatly appreciate your advice! |

Pension for parents after sponsorship

Quick question about the qualifications for government support for parents who were sponsored 10 years ago. In 10 years they were away from Canada for 2 years straight (due to their parent’s terminal illness). Do they qualify for any kind of support from the government now that the sponsor doesn’t have any obligations toward them? I know about the 10 year residency requirement for OAS and GIC, but they will not meet that for another 2 years.
Thank you, any help would be appreciated! |
