If you keep a house here in Canada, but live in Mexico year round, do you have to give up Canadian residency, or can you keep it because you have the house? Also will you keep CPP and OAS if you live year round in Mex because you have the house here?
No, we do not give up our Canadian Citizenship. Both CPP and OAS continue when you live in a foreign country. I was concerned about OAS but recently clarified that. As long as you lived in Canada for 20 years after your 18th birthday you are good.
