Further to the Totalization of CPP and Social Security credits when Returning to Canada early because of heart disease.


QUESTION:

Iwas born Dec 22/39 in Canada. I worked in Canada until Feb of 1997,
moved to the US and presently work with a TN1 visa.

I developed heart disease and have had two attacks since '01

I would like to return to Canada and retire there near my family before
it's too late.

I understand I have to work in the US for 40 quarters to get their
Social Security, I only have 27.

I assume I cannot collect from both, but what is the result of applying
the US/Canada treaty to my case?? Do I apply it to the Canadian or US?
