I'm a Canadian / Portuguese citizen working in the UK. From 2012-2016, I was working in the UK as a Canadian under a work visa:
2012-2014 Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme
2014-2016 Tier 2
During this time I've been full-time employed and paying National Insurance contributions.
In May 2016 I received Portuguese citizenship and chose to remain in the UK as an EEA citizen.
Do my first four years in the UK as a Canadian on work visas (Tire 5 & 2) count towards the minimum 10 years of National Insurance contributions needed to receive a pro-rata amount for a state pension?
Does the UK have social security / pension agreement with Canada?
Is there specific information / resources for Canadians who have worked in the UK, but want to retire in Canada, available?
Thanks
