Country rules on record
Old Age Security Return of Income (OASRI) filing deadline
What is lost: If Part XIII.2 tax is owed for the year and the return is filed late, the CRA charges a late filing penalty of 5 percent of the balance owing plus 1 percent of the balance owing for each full month the return is late, to a maximum of 12 months.
Official source, canada.ca (checked 1 September 2026)
Section 217 non-resident tax election deadline
What is lost: If you file late and the required non-resident tax was withheld on your eligible section 217 income, the withheld amount becomes your final tax obligation for that income, and the CRA will send you a notice of assessment for the difference if less than the required amount was withheld.

A CPP retirement pension applied for after age 65 can only be backdated 11 months before the month of application, and never earlier than the month after the 65th birthday.
What is lost: No retroactive start date earlier than 11 months before the month of application is available. The page also states that applying in the month of the 65th birthday or earlier produces no retroactivity at all.

A CPP survivor's pension can only be backdated 12 months, so a widow or widower abroad who applies years after the death loses everything beyond that window.
What is lost: "If you delay, you may lose benefits." Back payments beyond 12 months are not made.

Dated obligation on record
A non-resident receiving Old Age Security must file the Old Age Security Return of Income with the CRA by 30 April each year or the OAS pension is suspended in July.
What is lost: The OAS pension is suspended in July. Late filing where recovery tax is owed also attracts "a late-filing penalty. The penalty is 5% of your balance owing for 2025, plus 1% of your balance owing for each full month that your return is late, to a maximum of 12 months."
