i am bob Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 and some girls are FOOLED to believe the "kano" is rich. (As e g the old Canadian, who only had retirement pay, but to get it he had to live in Canada officialy so his appartment there did cost him a big part of what he got in retirement pay. I suppouse he spend hos last money buying gifts to fool the girl AND her family he is rich to make them approve the marriage. (She was to young to decide herself.) His daughter made a documentary about it. First she was just against the relation in general, but when she found out the details, including the girl was much younger than told, she took side with the GIRL AGAINST the Canadian.) But I thought most Filipinos thought we were rich even when we say we are not. I never read this story about this guy. Do you have a link to it? Also aren't some guys here Canadian and on retirement? I know a few in different countries and you just have to maintain an address there to keep claiming it and go back every so often. So not an obstacle to retired Canadians living abroad I think. Canadians don't have to return other than to maintain their provincial health plans... Pensions are paid regardless where you live - you just pay 25% income tax and get no government benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Negrito Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 He had to pay as he was the foreigner with money. If he was not in the Philippines, it would not have happened. This is the same reasoning as in car accidents. The sister got rich when she moved in with him and his money. So he got together with the sister? If so then he is crazy!

I mean they can't stop you from traveling right? So theoretically you could travel to PI for 6 months return home for a month and then back to PI for another 6 months with no problems. Even then the returning home would mostly just be for show if your permanent address was with family that maintained the house or it was their house.

The government doesn't mind if you live outside the country... Many ex-military have moved to other countries where they served and don't come back. Still get our pensions. Like I said, only our provincial health plans are affected. That's why the snow birds spend 6 months minus a day out of country - to keep their health plans in case they get sick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, what would those other government benefits be (other than no OHIP without the requisite residence)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i am bob Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Welfare, unemployment insurance, that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBubba Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks Bob. Nothing that's not to be expected then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbago Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 That's why the snow birds spend 6 months minus a day out of country - to keep their health plans in case they get sick. It has changed to only 153 days per year averaged over a 2 year period for OHIP. If not, when you return, you have to wait for 3 months. http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/publications/ohip/travel.aspx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really kept track of OHIP as I wasn't intending to move back. I figured if I ever did, I'd worry about it then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
