Social Security Rights in Canada [Webinar]

CentreCanada Newcomer Society organized an informative online webinar focused on understanding social security rights in Canada and Turkey. For many newcomers, navigating retirement systems, benefits, and international agreements can be complex and confusing. This session aimed to provide clarity and reliable information on these critical topics. 

The webinar was led by Nuri Sansarlıoğlu, a Social Security Expert with decades of international experience. Participants gained valuable insights into how social security systems work in both Canada and Turkey, including eligibility, benefits, and common misconceptions.

Topics covered included: 

• Retirement systems in Turkey and Canada 
• Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), and Disability Benefits 
• The Turkey–Canada Social Security Agreement and related rights 
• Common misunderstandings and legal considerations 
• Live answers to participants’ questions 

Attendees left the session better informed and more confident about their social security rights and responsibilities. For newcomers, especially, this knowledge plays a vital role in long-term financial security and informed decision-making. 

CentreCanada continues its mission to empower the community through accessible, educational, and culturally inclusive programs.
