Kulang ang pensyon sa Canada? | Is it better to retire in the Philippines? | Buhay Canada

[@1954fallen]

simple lang kung nagtrabaho ka nang matagal at hinawakan mong mabuti ang pera mo ay comfortable kang mabubuhay when you retire.Yung pension mo sa company pension isa canadian government.Syempre kung late ka nang dumating dito hindi ka na pwedeng magtrabaho nang matagal at syempre hindi na kalakihan ang pensyon mo...Law of physic yun.Ang nakalimutang banggitin nang ini interview mo ay ang healtu care benefit .At the age of 65yrs old libre nalahat ang medical at gamot.Mabait ang Canad pero hindi Charitable institution.Maraming nang yayaring problema sa mga Filipino ay dahil kasalanan din nila...sa sobrang husay nila.Ang sinabi nang isang tao ay hindi pwedeng maging totoo sa lahat Hindi pwedeng waysan ang gobyerno dito pero isa na sa pinamabait na bansa.Ako at ang asawa ko retire na 5 yrs ago. Sapat na yung natatanggap namin at nakakapagrip pa kami nang dalawang bese sa every year.SaPilipinas dapat siguraduhan mong milyunaryu ka pag tumanda ka pra may pang Hospital ka pag tumanda ka.Dito sa Canada hindi mo na pupublemahin dahil libre ang lahat pag nagkasakit ka..Basta sundan mo lang ang patakaran nang gobyerno hindi ka magkaka problema.Marami ka si sa ating mga kababayan and mahilig sa palulusot.Ang mother at father ko dumating sila Canada ni minsa n ay hindi naki pagtrabaho pero ang Candian government binibigya parin sila nang tig almost two thousand dollrs amt every month.Ang human rights dito ay first class.Sad to say and I hate to say marami sa ating kababaya dito kahit matagal na ay hindi wise and analytical thinker.Maraming namamatay para makapag migrate lang dito.Marami pa akong dapat sabihin...preo hanggang dito na lang. salamat

We have no mortgage, no car payment, we use credit card but it is paid in full. We nver touch our IRA and Roth IRA which is worth 7 figures and we were lucky that we invested in real estate long long time ago.

As soon as one gets a job at 16 or 18, save money and invest. Start with 10% of income then increase the percentage up to 50% if you can as your pay increases. Invest bonuses, do not spend it. Do not inflate your lifestyle, live simply and focus spending on needs only. Accumulate assets, minimize liabilities. Diversify investments. Focus on financial freedom and early retirement. Think of the govt pension as a bonus only and not rely on it as the govt created the govt pension to supplement what you have planned and built on your own over the many years of hard work. Prepare to be a Wal-Mart greeter in your 60s, 70s or 80s if you do not plan your retirement. Those who believed in YOLO and spent every dollar are struggling now in retirement. Nasa huli lagi ang pagsisisi.

You are only saying that it’s better to retire in the Philippines because of the exchange rate of one’s hard earned dollars. But, if you are working in the Philippines all your life you better have millions of pesos saved for your retirement, and another million for your hospital and doctor bills in your senior years and even when you get sick anytime. Or else, you will die of a heart attack when you receive your hospital bill.

[@lisagalve7480]

Planning ahead for retirement is the key, the earlier the better. If you’re working in a company that has no pension plan, then you start your own pension plan, maximizing your RRSP contribution, TFSA , and if you can afford, buy a property, a condo or a house. CPP and OAS are not enough to sustain your needs when you retire.

The things you mentioned are possible before 2015. Everything had changed when our wako PM took over. He deliberately destroyed Canada so the govt can control everything. Slowly yet surely he will change to totalitarian form of govt.

[@samuel7499]

Just remember RRSP is a tax deferral scheme... Aside from the withholding tax when you withdraw, it also added as income. Depending on your income, you could push you into a higher tax bracket, which equates to higher taxes.

[@lizabethbarretto]

Very true, NOT ENOUGH with the high cost of living here in Vancouver, middle class family is not existing anymore, they're now considered in the poverty status, so what's more if you're already senior and retired from working. This is a very SAD REALITY here in Vancouver

He is very very right...housing is slashing almost 50%-60% of the income specially the current status of how Mr. Trudeau is demolishing Canada.

[@angelburn1]

Retirement is not an age, it is a number. You need to have retirement savings, ang pension ay para hindi ka maging pulubi/homeless. You need to invest 15-25% of your income for 20-30 years. Kung matanda ka na nagsimula mag invest, you need to invest 30 plus percent ng sweldo mo. Keyword, invest in retirement. Hiwalay pa dyan ang percent ng normal na savings account na pang ipon sa pangbili ng bahay, kotse at ibang luho etc.

[@inanutshellvlog]

[@MC-do4dw]

Pension in ANY country is not meant to replace one’s income in retirement. In Canada, it is meant to AUGMENT and HELP people. In fact, the Canadian government created the CPP and the OAS for this reason. They studied peoples’ financial status in retirement and saw that they are NOT SAVING enough in their working years, thus, the CPP and the OAS were created. Note that there are TWO sources of pension for working Canadians unlike other countries. If one is not working there’s still one source of pension after 10 years of residency which is still a blessing coz you never worked and never contributed to the country’s economy.

you can also check pension plans offered by your company, mostly crown corporation companies provide those stuff. So you will get pension from the gov't and also from your company when you retired.

Then do you think retiring in the Phil. is an option since whatever asset you have here is multiplied by 40? My brother-in-law had major illness back in the Phil. , in a span of 3 months his medical expenses was 14M & that was way back in 2009. He passed away in a few months, but had he survived longer, just cant imagine how much more would the family spend. Yes, there are medical insurance, but the older you are the higher the premium. Aside from this, there are limits to your coverage & pre existing illness may not be covered.

first of all, you need to know how much you spend on a mnthly basis. Then, compute how much your income is. For retirees, and for some who has planned their retirement... the income will be coming from some or all of these: cpp, oas, gis, rrsp (or rrif), lira (or lif), tfsa, stock dividends etc. From there, you can calculate how much to withdraw from rrsp, lira and tfsa etc. The important thing here is to see to it that you minimize your taxable income (rrsp, lira,cpp,dividends ) so that you get the as much amount in gis.

[@knut982]

CPP & OAS is meant to supplement one’s income and not to fund a lifestyle you want.

[@Duu-t2c]

CPP and OAS is not intended to fully support your retirement. It is very important to have a PLAN for Retirement. If you immigrated to Canada in you late 30s or 40s, you MUST have a plan. If you work for a company that has an RRSP matching, take the maximum matching. If you are the few that has a company pension plan, then do your best to stay.

Start saving for your retirement when you work in Canada. If you're thinking of retiring back to your home country after retiring it's doubtful if you'll bring home the Canada pension. Canada Pension Plan is your contribution while you're still working. The OAS (Old Age Security) is financial benefit from the government when you reach 65 yrs. The CPP and OAS amount you're talking about is actually for the people who have live in Canada for 40 yrs. however, if you are short of residency or work of 40 yrs you may not get the amount. I am a retiree living in Canada.

One thing about Senior Homes. Due to large number of Baby Boomers retiring, you'd be lucky to get your own room, especially in BC. The Senior Home my Father stayed at in Vancouver had two to three beds per room. Lastly, staying in a Senior Home can get quite depressing. I saw the way my Father live his last five years in a Senior Home and he would have preferred to die in his own house. And if you end up in a Senior Home, pray that you get Filipino attendants as I've seen the way non-Filipino staff treat the Seniors, especially at night and early mornings when no one is around. I vowed I'll never end up in a Senior Home but unfortunately in Canada, most Seniors end up there because their kids are too busy working and there's no katulongs to help out.

[@robocop581]

@TedCruz_ocho_ocho That's not possible if a Senior requires constant medical care at home. My friend put up his Mother at Senior home because she collapsed several times in their bathroom and bedroom while they were at work. His Mother forgot to take her meds. In a lot of cases, Social Workers decide if a Senior needs to be admitted to a Home because some houses won't have the equipment to deal with medical needs. A wheelchair bound Senior alone requires homeowner to build a special ramp at the entrance which is costly.

Senior Homes are subsidized by the Gov't, I'm not sure if it's provincial or Federal or both. My Father had a $2,000 retirement income, $1,500 after tax which went mostly to the fees of his Senior Home in Vancouver. The Gov't paid 70% of the cost of the Senior Home of $4,750 a month.
