Government of Canada Enters Into New Social Security Agreement With Romania
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/01/11 -- The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, announced that effective immediately, Canadians who have lived and worked in Romania and Romanians who have lived and worked in Canada will be eligible to qualify for public pension benefits from either or both countries.
This is the culmination of a Social Security Agreement recently negotiated between Canada and Romania.
"This Agreement demonstrates the spirit of partnership and collaboration between our two countries," said Minister Finley. "It recognizes the valuable contribution Canadians and Romanians have made to society during their working life."
Canada has negotiated 54 international social security agreements, with 53 in effect, including agreements with Romania and Macedonia that come into force today.
This Social Security Agreement between Canada and Romania will help people who have lived or worked both in Canada and in Romania to qualify for old age, retirement, disability, or survivor benefits from both countries. The Agreement applies to Canada's Old Age Security Program and Canada Pension Plan (CPP), as well as to the comparable pension program in Romania.
The Agreement will also result in savings for Canadian companies operating in Romania. Canadian companies will continue to make CPP contributions for employees they send to work in Romania, and will be exempt from making Romanian social security contributions. This translates directly into enhanced competitiveness for Canadian companies operating in Romania. The same is true for Romanian companies operating in Canada.
