Great info Spencer and I'm glad you have me 'under your wing'!
What have you planned if i should outlive you?

I'm delighted to find all these experiences on line. I've lived in Mexico four & one half years now and have just this winter been notified by CRA in Sudbury that I owe over $2600 because I failed to tell them i was leaving Canada. ( I mistakenly thought that 's why we had our passports stamped.!)
As I am now in my 80 th year, I had been collecting OAS & CPP several years before leaving in 2016, for Ecuador. Am I to now believe, that they will 'claw-bask' or demand payment up front of the $2600 plus $ ??
I sponsored a new Mexican wife to Canada in 2007, so had no problem obtaining my 'Permante' here. She now works in Alberta and winters in Mexico.(Separete from me!)

This is 1Charro reporting back 4 months later. I believe I may have started all this 'conflab'.
What started my problem with Sudbury Ont. office of CRA was a mistake by Dave Paterson on my 2018 taxes.
He apparently registered me as being Non-Resident; (what that all means I'm not sure and after all the confusion I don't even want to know), but a subsequent phone call to Sudbury 'May' have solved the dilema. At least that what I was told by a very helpful 'lady' there. Then 'low & behold', Mr Hamilton(?) in that very same office ,turned around and re-sent the bill for $2642+-.. I'm still awaiting a reply (by snail- mail) to my very 'snarky' answer to his lack of 'due-diligence'. The old story of the right hand not knowing.....
Sure a bunch of Grumpy old Canadians down here.
