Another question I asked Google:

renounce canadian citizenship cpp oas

Renouncing Canadian citizenship results in losing eligibility for Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) benefits. To renounce, you must be a Canadian citizen, prove you are or will become a citizen of another country, not live in Canada, and be at least 18 years old. The process involves applying, proving eligibility, and paying a fee, which is non-refundable according to Canada.ca.
Renouncing Canadian Citizenship:

    Eligibility:
    To renounce, you must be a Canadian citizen, prove you are or will become a citizen of another country, not live in Canada, be at least 18 years old, and not be a threat to Canada's security according to Canada.ca.

Loss of Benefits:
Renouncing Canadian citizenship means losing all rights and privileges of citizenship, including access to CPP and OAS benefits.
Application Process:
You need to complete the application form, provide necessary documents, pay the fee, and submit the application according to Canada.ca.
Post-Renunciation:
If you wish to return to Canada after renouncing, you will need to apply for a permanent or temporary resident visa, depending on the purpose and duration of your stay.

CPP and OAS Implications:

    CPP:
    The Canada Pension Plan is a contributory pension plan, meaning benefits are based on your contributions during your working years according to filingtaxes.ca. If you renounce your citizenship, you lose the right to receive CPP benefits, even if you previously contributed.

OAS:
The Old Age Security pension is a non-contributory benefit based on residency in Canada. If you renounce your citizenship, you also lose eligibility for OAS benefits.
Non-Residents:
Even as a non-resident, you may be eligible for CPP and OAS payments if you have met the eligibility criteria before renouncing your citizenship, but this is not guaranteed according to UBC Faculty Pension Plan

Canada is desperate for suckers and Singapore is not

I looked into some things an ex-pat to Singapore might research before moving there.

Citizenship - I asked google about dual citizenship:

"Can singapore have dual citizenship?"

And the answer is....

QuoteNo, Singapore generally does not recognize or permit dual citizenship. While individuals born with dual citizenship (e.g., a child born to Singaporean parents in another country) can hold both citizenships until the age of 21, they are required to choose one by that age. If they choose to retain their Singaporean citizenship, they must renounce any other citizenship they hold.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    Dual citizenship at birth:
    Singapore allows for a grace period until the age of 21 for individuals who acquire dual citizenship at birth (e.g., through jus sanguinis in another country and jus soli in Singapore).

Renunciation requirement:
At age 21, these individuals must choose between their Singaporean and foreign citizenship(s).
Consequences of non-compliance:
Failure to renounce the foreign citizenship by the deadline can result in the loss of Singaporean citizenship.

Exceptions:
There are limited exceptions, such as for individuals who acquire citizenship by descent in a foreign country and also obtain Singapore citizenship by registration.

In essence, Singaporean nationality law is designed to prevent its citizens from holding multiple citizenships after the age of 21, except under specific and limited circumstances.

And I asked about Canada:

"Can canada have dual citizenship?"

QuoteYes, Canada allows dual citizenship. This means that individuals can be both Canadian citizens and citizens of another country. Canada recognizes multiple citizenships, and becoming a Canadian citizen does not require renouncing one's original citizenship.
Here's a more detailed explanation:

    Canada's Policy:
    Canada's Citizenship Act allows for dual or multiple citizenships.

No Requirement to Renounce:
Individuals are not required to give up their existing citizenship when becoming Canadian citizens.
Other Countries' Policies Vary:
While Canada allows dual citizenship, whether a person can hold dual citizenship also depends on the laws of their other country of citizenship. Some countries do not allow their citizens to hold dual citizenship, and may require renunciation of their citizenship upon acquiring another.
Examples:

    A person born in Canada to foreign parents may be a citizen of both Canada and their parents' country of origin.

A Canadian citizen who naturalizes in another country may also become a citizen of that country.

Traveling with Dual Citizenship:
Dual citizens are required to travel to and from Canada using a valid Canadian passport

Quote from: Brent on July 12, 2025, 11:52:14 AMCarney wants these tariffs.  He is so invested in the States he is an American without the passport.

Conman Carney is a gift to the Trump administration.

Quote from: Thiel on July 12, 2025, 01:19:13 PMPussycat, remember I explained to you last night after you performed oral sex on me that the Europeans have rejected Mr Carney's radical environmental agenda that only serves his own financial interests.

Perhaps Mr Carney will get Canada admitted to ASEAN where they are not as strict about conflicts of interest. Maybe you will have Vietnamese boats on the Great Lakes.

Canada should start a common market with Papua New Guinea Botswana Uganda and Zimbabwe. They are the only the countries dumb enough to slit their own throats like Conman Carney wants countries to do.

Fifteen years from now when Canada will be considered part of the developing world young folks in this country can go work in rich exciting Zimbabwe without a visa.

We still don't know all of Conman Carney's investments or his net worth. I say the greedy prick is a frickin billionare.
