Hi All,
In regards to this Social Security deductions. My wife is on a H1B, will she be entitled to these earnings when she retires one day ? Whether it be in US or Canada? Only reason I'm asking is because I know a few Indian people(H1B holders) that were sent back to India and lost all their deductions. I guess as Canadians, these work visas really don't make a difference in terms of social security, correct ?
thanks!

I know a few H1B's too who were sent back and they were trying to get the Social Security Deductions back and probably did.
Based on the agreement between Canada and USA, I think it should be easy to get the benefits, but this is assuming you do end up in Canada. I am not sure, for instance what happens if one ends up in Australia, for instance. I think that as long as one is a Canadian, it should not matter whether one has a Canadian address or not. If you have a Canadian address, it should not be a problem at all.
