Usually, they can send you your payment outside the country for as long as you want if You lived in Canada for at least 20 years after reaching age 18 or You lived or worked in a country that has a social security agreement with Canada and are considered to meet the 20-year residence requirement. If you do not fall into either of the above categories, they can only send your payments outside Canada for the month that you leave, and for six months after that. For example, if you left Canada in January, they will send payments until the end of July. After July, the payments will stop. If you plan to be absent from Canada for more than six months, you must call them well before you leave. If you return to live in Canada, contact them on your return and they will start your payments again from the month of your return.

Yes. Since January 2004 if you reside in one of the countries where arrangements exist, payments are made in the currency of that country. The amount deducted for income tax is determined by your country of residence in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.

They have now asked my mom to pay back the amount overpaid to her. She was not able to come back to Canada in time was because of leg injury. Do you think this reason will be accepted by the Canadian government so that she doesn't have to repay the overpaid amount?
