具体原文如下:
*The first level: Old Age Security
Old Age Security is Canadas largest public pension program. It provides a modest monthly pension to most people, starting at the age of 65.
The Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) is an additional monthly benefit for low-income OAS pensioners.
The Allowance provides a monthly benefit to low-income people between the ages of 60 and 64. It is available to the spouses or common-law partners of OAS pensioners and survivors to help bridge the gap until they become entitled to receive OAS at 65.
If you wish to receive the basic OAS pension outside Canada, you must have lived here for at least 20 years after your 18th birthday. The Guaranteed Income Supplement and the Allowance are only for seniors who live in Canada. They stop if you leave Canada for more than six months. If you return to Canada you must reapply.
Have you lived or worked outside Canada? Canada has international social security agreements with many countries that could help you meet the OAS residence requirements or get other social security benefits from either country. If you did not live or work long enough in one country to qualify for benefits there, the time you spent in that country may still be considered when determining your eligibility to receive benefits from either country.
The amount of OAS you receive depends on the number of years you live in Canada after you turn 18. Generally, you receive a full pension if you live in Canada for at least 40 years after 18. If you live here for less time, you may qualify for a partial pension. With a partial pension, youll receive 1/40th of the full pension for each complete year you live in Canada after you turn 18.

加拿大退休金计划 Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
加拿大退休金计划(CPP)则为曾在加拿大工作并支付CPP供款的退休人士提供补助。CPP给付额按申请人受雇期间所缴付的供款数目而定。合资格者可在六十岁便开始申领这项退休金。CPP每年均按生活成本指数调升一次。视情况而定,CPP领取者身故后,其配偶将可继续支林遗属退休金。
*The second level: Canada Pension Plan
The Canada Pension Plan pays a monthly retirement pension to people who have worked and contributed to the CPP.
The CPP also acts as an insurance plan, providing disability and survivor benefits for those who qualify. It provides a monthly income to you and your dependent children if you become severely disabled during your working years. It also provides a monthly income to your surviving spouse or common-law partner and dependent children if you die. A lump-sum death benefit is available to your estate when you die.
Your CPP contributions are based on earnings between a minimum and maximum amount. For example, in 2001, you pay contributions only on earnings between $3,500 and $38,300. CPP contributions are tax-deductible.
Your employer deducts your contributions from your pay and makes an equal contribution. If you are self-employed, you act as both employee and employer and pay both portions.
The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) collects contributions on behalf of CPP. CPP funds are kept separate from general tax revenues. They are used only to pay benefits, cover administrative costs and make investments.
You qualify by working in Canada Generally, all workers in Canada over the age of 18 pay into the CPP (or the QPP) and
qualify for benefits.
In general, your retirement pension replaces about 25 percent of the earnings on which you paid into the CPP. The exact amount depends on how much and for how long you contribute. The age at which you decide to take your pension also affects the amount you receive each month.
In 2001, the maximum CPP retirement pension is $775 per month if taken at the age of 65.
