说的太对了,补充以下OAS 是可以领的,但钱很少10/40 每月大约100.00 但GIS是不可以领的。 Sponsored and non-sponsored immigrants: Newcomers with less than 10 years of residence in Canada who qualify for Old Age Security under a social security agreement will have their Guaranteed Income Supplement/ Allowance entitlement grow gradually over 10 years - 1/10th of the benefit for each year of residence.
