In November 2019, Quebec and Germany signed a social security agreement. The agreement aims to coordinate the social security systems of both countries to better protect the rights of their citizens. The agreement covers areas such as retirement pensions, disability benefits, and survivor benefits.

For individuals who have lived and worked in both Quebec and Germany, the agreement ensures that they receive the social security benefits they are entitled to. Under the agreement, contributions made in one country can be used to meet the eligibility requirements for benefits in the other country. This helps to prevent any gaps in coverage and ensures a smooth transition for those who have worked and lived in both countries.

For Canadians living and working in Germany, the agreement provides access to Germany`s social security system, which includes various benefits. These include retirement benefits, disability benefits, and survivor benefits. Likewise, German nationals living and working in Quebec will have access to the province`s social security system, which includes healthcare, pension, and other benefits.

The Quebec-Germany social security agreement is part of a larger effort by Canada to expand its network of social security agreements with other countries. These agreements are important for Canadians who live and work abroad, as they help ensure that they receive the social security benefits they are entitled to.

Overall, the Quebec-Germany social security agreement is a positive development for citizens of both countries. It ensures that they receive the social security benefits they have earned and helps to create a more seamless and coordinated system. As more countries sign similar agreements, Canadians living and working abroad can feel more confident that their social security benefits are protected, no matter where they are in the world.
