A by-the-numbers look at foreign pensioners in Canada, and payments abroad
OTTAWA — British pensioners living in Canada are lobbying the Liberal government to make indexing their pensions to the cost of living a requirement for any future free trade deal with Britain — an agreement that would have to be negotiated as a result of Brexit. Here’s a by-the-numbers look at foreign pensions inside Canada, and payments abroad:
1.24 million: British pensioners living outside the U.K. and receiving benefits.
560,000: British pensioners living outside the U.K. in countries where their pensions are not indexed.
150,000: The number of those frozen pensioners living in Canada.
