My wife and I are a retired Canadian couple living near Ottawa (66 years old) and are considering retiring in Cuenca, Ecuador. Will the following Canadian pensions be reduced or lost if we become permanent residents of Ecuador: 1) Old Age Security, 2) Canada Pension 3) Canada Guaranteed Income? Will we lose our Canadian residency and health coverage as we would like to visit Canada regularly for a number of months at a time? Is there a way of keeping both Ecuadorian and Canadian residency status? Information from anyone who has experienced or looked into such a move is appreciated.
