Welcome
German Old Age Pensions
Many persons residing in Canada receive old age pensions from Germany. These payments are not made by the German missions, but by different German pension authorities. In general, banks carry out the payments for the pension authority.
Should you require information on your old age pension, please contact the German pension authority directly or a pension consultant (see right side).
The insurance agency “Deutsche Rentenversicherung Nord” of the German statutory pension insurance scheme serves as liaison office for insured persons who have completed insurance periods in Canada or who live there. Deutsche Rentenversicherung Nord info@drv-nord.de For further information please visit the website of the insurance agency: |
Information on how working in Germany and Canada will effect your pension can be found in the brochure “Working in Germany and Canada”: Brochure “Working in Germany and Canada” (German language only) |
If you have questions regarding German Social Insurance Pensions and are residing in Canada you can also contact:
Service Canada https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/publicpensions/cpp/cpp-international.html |
Please be informed that Service Canada can not offer extensive counseling. They merely send out the appropriate forms for the application for a German pension.
Translation Offices
As the official language in Germany is German, you might receive information from your pension authority in German only. The German Foreign Missions do not offer translation services. Please contact a translation office for assistance.
Contributors to the Quebec Plan
Applicants who reside in Quebec and have contributed to the Quebec pension plan can approach the following institution:
Régie des rentes Québec |
Death of a Pensioner
When a beneficiary passes away the Pension Authority needs to be informed without delay. It will then discontinue the payments. The information can either be forwarded by the next of kin/executor of the estate or by the German Foreign Mission. Please allow time for due processing.
