If you’ve ever worked in the United Kingdom (no matter what nationality you are), you have paid into the UK State Pension.
Once you move away, say to Canada, you might think that those payments are simply lost, or like me, you’re unsure what can even be done from overseas…
Good news is, I’m joined in this episode by Ian Andexser, a fellow Brit in Canada and chairman of the Canadian Alliance of British Pensioners (CABP).
He’s here to shed light on how you can “buy back” missing years of contributions since moving abroad and still receive a good payout when you reach pension age - Despite no longer living in the UK!
Ian also discusses the ongoing “frozen” pension issue, a problem that is costing pensioners in Canada hundreds of thousands of pounds, as well as the ways that CABP is lobbying the UK government for change.
