My wife just forwarded this email to me with the question if this is true. I don't have the answer. Does anyone?
Canada Pensions...
Only in Canada
* It is interesting to know that the federal Government of Canada allows :
A monthly pension of : $1,890.00 to a simple refugee plus : 580.00 in social aid ==========
A grand total of : $2,470.00 monthly X 12 months
==========
$28,920.00 annual income
? By comparison, the Old Age Pension of a senior citizen who has contributed to the development of Our Beautiful Big Country during 40 or 50 years, CANNOT receive more than :
Amount/month $1,012.00 in Old Age Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement X 12 months
============
$12,144.00 annual income
A difference of : $16,776.00 per year
* Perhaps our senior citizens should ask for the Status of Refugees instead of applying for Old Age Pension.
* Let us send this message to as many Canadians as possible, and maybe the allowance of refugee could then be reduced to $1,012.00, and that of our Canadian pensioners raised to $2,470.00 per month. (who actually deserve it) the money that they have been paying in income taxes for 40 or 50 years,
AN INCREDIBLE NONSENSE !!!
OUR CANADIAN SENIORS CITIZENS, DESERVE |
